What does 2 Peter 1:5-11 reveal about what God does in my place and on my behalf (the work of the Son)? Christ has given me a precious faith by which I am united to him and can know peace with God. This happens not because I have honoured God but because Christ has lived the perfect life in my place and died the death that I deserve. As a result of what Christ did, my sins can be forgiven and I can be made right in God’s sight and look forward to a rich welcome in the eternal kingdom of God.
