2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2 Peter 1:2
This verse extends a blessing of multiplied grace and peace through knowledge of God and Jesus. The knowledge here isn’t mere head knowledge; it’s practical, relational, experiential knowledge that comes from knowing God in a genuine, growing relationship. In context, there’s a call to spiritual growth and discernment in the face of false teachings.
Grace and peace are not static gifts but installments that multiply through intimate knowledge of God. The verse highlights the Trinity’s role—God the Father, Jesus the Lord—and the Christian’s knowledge as the channel of blessing.
Practical steps: invest in Bible study, prayer, and worship to deepen knowledge of God. Build routines that cultivate growth—devotional practices, small group discussion, and accountability. When confronted with confusing teachings, return to Scripture and trusted mentors.
