The scope and extent and boundaries of "everything we need for life and godliness" was provided for us here on earth and into life eternity. "Everything" meant every--thing, including all, nothing is exempted. It speaks of our whole life, body, soul and spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us about God. God has given us the Holy Spirit to teach us to know Him deeply & intimately. So we have no reason not to know God intimately. The Bible has been provided for us and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, revelations about Who God is, will be very clear to us and we can directly communicate with God through our devotional or prayer times.

When Peter wrote receiving the "faith as precious as ours" he meant, i believe, is the grace of salvation offered by God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Our salvation is very, very precious because the costs of the sacrifices of the Lord Jesus on the Cross is priceless and no man can save himself for "we all come short of the glory of God". Our faith compare to St. Peter's faith is the same. We all have received the same salvation. There is only One Way to salvation. Our "faith" is equal to Peter if salvation is concerned. There will only be discrepancies in the areas of how we live our lives as christians. Do we trust the Word of God? How much do we trust what God says in the Bible. If we trust God, then we will trust His Word, His promises on the Bible. Do we put "into action" our faith? Putting "into action our faith" will make us different to each other as christians.
