2 peter

What has God's divine power given us?


God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of God through Jesus Christ.

Why is it better for false prophets to have never known the way of righteousness?

Peter rants here about the ultimate destruction of the false prophets. He makes such an issue because these false teachers are able to do such great damage to the body of Christ, leading them in the wrong direction. Their ultimate destination is the"blackest darkness."

What fact should we not ignore in regards to the Lord's timetable?

We should not ignore the fact that just because God is slow in keeping his promises, it doesn’t mean God is lax. It means God is patient. However, God’s judgement will come. With God a thousand years is but a day, and a day is but a thousand years.
