LEVEL GROUND
II Peter 1:1
"Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of God and Savior Jesus Christ."
Peter, who walked and talked with Jesus during His earthly ministry and was a leader in the Church, could rightly claim his status as a bondservant and an apostle of Christ. Yet when it came to his faith, he acknowledged that he and his readers were all on the same level. They had all received as a gift the same precious faith – "faith of the same value" (margin). In the Body of Christ, we all have our roles to play, but we are all on the same level – saved by the grace of God through our common faith. There are no "super-Christians" in the Kingdom. As the old saying goes, "The ground is level at the foot of the cross."
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: There is no hierarchy in Christ's Kingdom; we are all on the same level through our faith in Christ.

Have a "precious faith" day. Love you.
