Peter builds upon his comments on scoffers with more information about the return of Christ. He is clear, that day will come. He points out that the delay is simply God being patient. He gives instructions for believers while waiting.

Peter writes to comfort the church while facing false teachers and accusers. The prophets told us these people would come, questioning Jesus’ promise to return and God’s judgment in the end. As the scoffer speaks, we are reassured that the prophets were true. Thus, scripture is true. Jesus is Who He claimed to be, & He is soon returning!

False teachers are pointed out in scripture, and so is their impact on others. They leave those they betray with unfulfilled promises. They offer liberty but instead lead them into legalism. They can only ever give them a religion, never true regeneration.

There are counterfeits and imitators around the church. These false teachers are bold and arrogant. They promise freedom but deliver slavery. They are immoral, they are smooth talkers, and they try to get others to fall into their own immorality. Peter is clear, they will pay the price for their evil deeds.

There are counterfeits and imitators around the church. Peter describes false teachers here, he reveals their coming destruction, but best of all…he writes to the church of their deliverance! Let’s consider False Teachers, but with a confidence that only God can give.

Remembrance was important to Peter in the lives of the church. A church full of Christians living with the authority of the Word of God as their basis is not likely to fall prey to apostasy. His purpose is to show the importance of knowing God’s Word and relying on it completely. The Christian who knows what he believes and why he believes it will rarely be seduced by the false teachers and their devious doctrines.

How can grace and peace be multiplied in life? Peter places emphasis on the knowledge of God. The word know or knowledge is used at least thirteen times in just 3 chapters. Knowledge is more than an intellectual understanding of truths.

What is a biblical elder? An Elder cannot effectively lead you if the Holy Spirit is not living in you. If you are unsaved, this is your first step into the church. No matter your role in the church, we can all use the exhortation here to better our daily Christian walk. Don’t quit when times get tough.

All that we do is for His glory. Are you prepared to face suffering that may come in the Christian life? How are you living with the suffering you are currently in? My premise in these sermons is that our lives will never be fully fulfilled until we submit ourselves primarily to the pursuit of that which glorifies God.

All that we do is for His glory. Peter writes to a suffering church, that they are to be serving for God’s glory. Certainly, we should be as well. In our Prayer Life, with our Hospitality, using our Gifts — our lives should be bringing Glory to God on a regular basis. A good clue, to determine if your life is doing this, is to see it as drawing others to God.
