Wow! V. 4 is a great and precious statement informing us of "exceeding great and precious promises" by which we can participate in the great and precious nature of God. Knowing (experiencing) Jesus our Lord(V.2) is the only way that we have access to the all things that pertain to life and godliness. These priviledges are apparently not endowed directly on believers, but available to those who actively obey in pursueing them. Being in Christ, voluntary humility to degrade ourselves as worthless, seems not to be productive or pleasing to God. Personalizing and actively receiving the promises with thanksgivingseems to God, seems to be God's plan for us. "Without faith it is impossible to please God"( Heb. 11:6). Let's go find the promises.
