Day 3

Last week we completed 2 Peter 1, as God confirmed for us that NONE of His prophecies were an act of human will, but He, through His Holy Spirit, moved men to write His Truth. Of course, all of God’s Word was written this way. Therefore, as we read, study, memorize and even preach and teach God’s Word, we must always remember that it is no on...

As we saw yesterday, we must constantly guard against false teachers and preachers. As God led Peter to write, it's interesting to note that 2 Peter 2:1 says this about the false teachers: even denying the Master who bought them. A false teaching that is widespread today is that God has chosen some for heaven, and He has chosen some to be sen...

As we read 2 Peter 2:2–3, we see that MANY people follow the false teacher’s sensuality (evil teaching and shameful immorality). This description gives us a clear picture of what we see in our world today. People today, and in every generation over time, would rather live according to their fleshly desires instead of surrendering to Christ as...

God continued to lead Peter to write, in 2 Peter 2:4–8, some incredible“ if God” statements to confirm His judgment on those false teachers who refuse His love, mercy, and grace. God also had Peter pen how He pours out His grace on those who choose to worship Him alone. After God’s warning of what will happen to the false teachers, God valida...

We saw God’s judgment yesterday, but God also rescued. God had Peter write that “righteous” Lot was rescued by Him. Read Genesis 19 as a reminder of Lot, but as you do, take note that you won’t see much righteousness in Lot’s life. So, when God had Peter call Lot “righteous,” we know that Lot’s righteousness was NOT found in himself, but his ...

The unrighteous are arrogant, that they even criticize and condemn angels and demons. But then God has Peter note that not even angels dare to bring a charge before our Lord against the demons. An excellent example of an archangel not rebuking the devil is found in Jude 1:9. Michael the archangel said to the devil, “The Lord rebuke you!” God ...

God finishes by calling the false teachers, and every person who refuses to surrender to Christ as Lord, dried-up springs or mists that are blown away by the wind, in 2 Peter 2:17. God continues to give a clear description in 2 Peter 2:18–22 of what the false teachers are doing and the outcome of what they have brought upon themselves. Many p...
