Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

Only the Father knows (2 Peter 2&3)

2 Peter 2  :  1 – 17

In this chapter Peter starts to warn us about false teachers amongst us. This book was written to believers making them aware.  We then are also being warned for all scripture is for our correction and wisdom.
If you remember in our study of the books to Timothy we were warned about leaders who are greedy, and exploit the ministry for personal gain. In this we are also reminded that should we fall into the clutches of such leadership our Father is able to rescue us, just as He did with Noah and Lot. The nature and character of falsehood among as believers is also described in detail.

2 Peter  3  :  1 – 17

Every now and then you hear or read about people predicting when our Lord coming back or when the earth will end. We are warned against these teachings for they are a waste of time. We are not told to be ignorant of the signs around us but we are warned against making the when and predictions our focus.
Only the Father knows when.  A 1000 years is like a day to Him and a 1000 days like a year.
Time is in the Father’s hand don’t stress, remember we learnt in Chapter 1 that He has provided for all we will need for life and godliness. Only through Him can we learn truth not through man.
