Q1. 2 Pet. 1:1 What does"received a faith as precious as ours" mean in this verse? My answer... Peter is saying all who come to faith in Jesus Christ Jew/gentile have exactly the same faith that he and others who believe at that time have. Q2. How does our faith compare to Peter's faith? We have been given the same gift of faith same ability to trust God same power of saving grace. Q3. Is our faith equal to his. Most definitely... Peter even lived with Jesus and saw Him work His miracles we believe without seeing Jesus in His flesh so we have a special extra gift for believing in Jesus' work on the cross and His taking our sins away. John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Q4. How do you explain the discrepancy? There is nothing we can do to deserve this God given faith, it is a gift to all who will believe and humble themselves before the Lord and understand we are totally undeserving of it.

Hi Linda from Oregon. I'm looking forward to studing these two books of the bible. Thanks for the opportunity to do this via the internet. I just moved to a new town and don't have a church home yet.
