“May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter 1v2 (NLT)

“May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter 1v2 (AMP)

In the verse above, a relationship between an increase in grace and peace, and the full, personal, precise, and correct knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord is put forth. As you get to know God and the Lord Jesus more, you become to understand the depth of His love for you. You become aware that His grace is available and sufficient for you. Your reliance on Him increases and You appreciate more the fact that without Him You are nothing and apart from Him You can do nothing. As you increase in the knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, not a tainted knowledge, but begin to see His heart, know His ways, and commit yourself more to Him, His peace begins to envelop you, as you learn to accept all that He has for you and lean completely on Him. Isaiah 26v3 (AMP) saying “You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” Amen.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,” Ephesians 1v15-20 (KJV)
