2 Peter 1:1-4; 9,

1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who

have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of

our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to

you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His

divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life

and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by

His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us

His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them

you might become partakers of the divine nature, having

ESCAPED the corruption that is in the world by lust.

9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted,

having forgotten his purification from his FORMER sins.

Romans 3:24,25,

…being justified as a gift by his grace through the redemption which is in

Jesus;25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood

through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the

forbearance of God He passed over the sins PREVIOUSLY

committed…

Titus 2:11-14,

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and

to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,

13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our

great God and Savior, Christ Jesus;

14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every

lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own

possession, ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS
