Equal Standing - 2 Peter 1:1-2

2 Peter 1:1-2 ESV 


Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.


Have you ever considered yourself to be in equal standing with the apostles? Maybe you should. Consider that there is one Spirit and the righteousness of Christ is given to all who believe in Him. God is no respecter of persons, meaning we all share in the same glory of Christ Jesus. We all stand before the Lord equal as brothers and sisters. 


We have different functions in the body of Christ, but we all share in the same love and power that unites His body.
