People's Bible Notes for 2 Peter 1:2
2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace. The usual apostolic benediction. These come through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus Christ our Lord. Those who have learned to know God and his Son have eternal life (Joh 17:3). This knowledge is one that comes from fellowship with Christ.
Romans 12 Paul says ''according to the grace given to us(Romans 12:6). 2Peter 3:18 says we are the ones to grow in the grace and not grace to grow in us. Ephesians 4 tells us about some being apostles others prophets etc,the final question is can some one grow in knowledge and ends up being gifted with all gifts after the multiplication of the grace?
