2 Peter 1:3-4 says Christians have been given all that they
need for life and godliness. They have the divine power to know God’s grace,
the divine promises to grow in God’s grace, and the divine nature to live in
God’s grace. And the word of God is the means of this grace. As 2 Timothy
3:16-17 says, the Bible is enough to convict you, correct you, train you, and
make you complete, ready to do any and every godly thing.
However, right after 2 Peter 1:3-4 tells you that you have what you need, 2 Peter 1:5-7 tells you about several qualities that you must make every effort to add to your faith. You see, you have all the parts, and you have all the tools, but building your life with the Bible is not automatic, it is “some assembly required”.
