Today we are continuing on with what it means for your heart (which is your thoughts, will, and emotions) to be established in Grace.
When you are established in Grace, what will be the effect in your heart, and what will your heart experience? Think about that.
What your heart is established in, that is what you will be experiencing. Let's look
at the following verse that will show us what you will experience when your heart is established in Grace(which is Jesus).
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 1:2 AMPC
In 2 Peter 1:2 it shows us that grace and peace go hand in hand together. So when you come into contact with grace, you will experience peace. So when your heart(thoughts, will and emotions) are established in grace you will experience peace. Furthermore Peter is showing us that you can experience a multiplication of grace and peace in your life and in your heart. So you can either limit or multiply the amount of grace and peace you experience in your life and heart.
So how do you experience this multiplication of grace and peace in your life and in your heart?
In 2 Peter 1:2 it shows us how; "be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." When you have the correct and precise knowledge (The Truth) about who God and Jesus truly is, you will experience grace and peace. Therefore, if we have and believe the wrong knowledge about who God and Jesus truly is, it's going to cause anxiety, fear, disaster, destruction, fear of punishment in our hearts and lives. In 2 Peter 1:2 it also speaks of the personal knowledge, which means it's a personal and intimate relationship with God and Jesus, where God and Jesus Himself reveals the truth about Himself to you personally which leads to and produces, grace and peace in your heart. Furthermore it speaks of the full knowledge of God and Jesus, which means God wants to reveal every part of Himself and His Son Jesus to you, God is not hiding anything from you, and every part of Him that you will discover about Him and His Son Jesus is full of Grace and peace. Knowing and believing this truth about God and Jesus will establish your heart(thoughts, will and emotions) in Grace and will lead to you experiencing peace, peace that isn't affected by your circumstances or your situations.
