2 Peter 1:1 (KJV) Through the Righteousness of God


 2 Peter 1:1 (KJV)
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

Notice, the Word of God says Simon Peter, as well as all those to whom he writes, obtained faith[1]through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. 
  • Not through the membership of their church 
  • Not through the ordinances of baptism and Lord’s Supper
  • Not through a spiritual inheritance from their parents 
  • Not through the keeping of the Old Testament law
  • Not through their own righteous acts
But through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. 



[1]I believe the reference is to saving faith.
