2 Peter 1:3. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
God has given us everything through his son, Jesus. Because Jesus' life, death and resurrection, by grace through faith, we have been cleansed of all sin and have eternal life. Because Jesus is sitting at God's side interceeding for us, He gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit to live in us. These are the 3 stacked heart rocks. Black slate represents our sin thats been cleansed by the blood of Jesus- red glass from Venice.To the left of the cross, which is poplar wood I picked up in Ashville, NC, is the Living Water (Jesus) flowing down from a large natural lapis, blue kyanite, glass ribbons and venetian glass smalti. The Living Water creates and sustains life which is represented by the green area surrounded by pebbles. Green stone, natural pink rubies, dioptase and green phantom quartz represents new life and growth. Above the red glass is a golden double citrine point, golden rays of glass with crushed dichroic glass in between, crystal blue and white stone, selenite, and gold pyrite. Because Christ-followers have been given all we need to live a godly life, our faith, of greater worth than gold is always being refined and we are constantly being transformed and made new until Christ comes again. In Him, we are rich beyond measure.
