2 Peter 3
Here’s how the study works: Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people’s insights
3 thoughts on “2 Peter 3”
v.1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.
Peter thought it necessary to stimulate his readers to think good thoughts. It is a good reminder for us to be on our guard. We live in a fallen world and we are constantly bombarded with inappropriate images, jokes, and ideas. We have to choose to think on those things which are true, pure, wholesome.
v.5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
They deliberately forget. It was a choice they made. Equally they could have made the choice to remember.
v.18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Two areas where we always need to grow, in grace and in knowledge.
