Nov 8, 2022 · Peter categorized Paul’s writings as “Scripture” that was the result of the wisdom God gave him (2 Peter 3:15–16). God desires our sanctification, and He sees to it that we can live a godly life. He has already given us everything we need—all things that pertain to life and godliness are ours by God’s divine power (2 Peter 1:3).

This challenges the way people often think about Christianity. We often view our lives as a series of compartments: My work—that’s one area. My family—that’s another. My pleasure—that’s what I do just for me and for my own joy. There’s my faith—which is a very important part of my life. And then there are my hopes and dreams Most folks in church wo...
Peter has a particular kind of life in mind. He talks about “life and godliness.” A godly life is more, rather than less. Godliness simply means a life that is centered on God. In Jesus Christ you will find everything you need for a life that flows out of a passion for God. The life he’s talking about is not an artificial one, where you try to conf...
To whom is Peter speaking? He says right at the beginning that he is writing to “those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours” (v1). Peter is writing to those people who have “a faith as precious as ours.” This immediately raises the question: What kind of faith is that? Because it...
Participation in the divine nature
What does that mean? How can you participate in the divine nature? Either you would somehow have to enter into God, which the Bible never suggests happens. Or God would somehow have to enter into you. The Bible clearly teaches that when a person comes to faith in Jesus Christ, God’s Spirit enters the life of that person. When Peter says “you may participate in the divine nature” (v4), he is talking about our union with Christ. This is the same thing the Apostle Paul is speaking of when he say...
Escape from corruption in the world
What’s wrong with the world? Where does the corruption in the world come from? What would need to change if we are to have a world of freedom and justice and love and joy? There are many answers to these questions. Some people will tell you that the corruption in the world comes from lack of education, lack of opportunity, or lack of resources. The Apostles would not agree with that. Peter says the corruption in the world is caused by evil desires. That’s why you find corruption in people who...

What does Peter mean when he says we can “escape” the corruption in the world? I am a Christian but I have an ongoing battle with lust or greed or pride or envy. What do you mean escape? I struggle with evil desires all the time! Some of you will have seen the film, The Fugitive.A doctor is framed for the murder of his wife. He is sentenced to jail, but while they are moving him to a penitentiary there is an accident. The bus rolls off the road, and in the chaos that follows, the character, p...
