The TV show, “Let’s Make a Deal,” used to have a grand prize round. Contestants who performed well earlier in the show were offered their choice of three curtains, behind which held prizes. If they selected correctly, they won a grand prize. However, they didn’t know what was behind each of the curtains until they make their choice. God offers us eternal life, but we don’t know all that this life entails until we choose to trust in Him.
II Peter 1:3 says, “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.” God has called us and saved us by His own power, not by anything that we could do. In this calling and salvation, He provides all that we will need to live abundantly and to grow in godliness. Knowing Him draws us into His glory and excellence.
