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.
