2 Peter 1:4

By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

Without knowledge of God’s words and His promises, people live way below what God says we can have. That is how the devil steals from us is through a lack of knowledge. If we knew we had an inheritance sitting there, would we let it get away from us? No! But that is what happens when we don’t believe God at His word. His promises are not just for a select few but for all for believe on Him.
