Ministry Passages: 2 Peter Flashcards
SCRIPTURE CONTAINS EVERYTHING NECESSARY FOR LIFE AND GODLINESS
2 Peter 1:3
seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE
2 Peter 1:4
For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
ASSURANCE WHEN GROWING
2 Peter 1:8-9
For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
THE PROCESS OF INSPIRATION
2 Peter 1:20-21
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
FALSE TEACHERS ARE LIKE THIS, PLUS WE SHOULD NOT REBUKE ANGELS
2 Peter 2:10
Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties, 11whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.
A THOUSAND YEARS EQUALS ONE DAY
2 Peter 3:8
But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
ALL HIS OWN TO COME TO REPENTANCE
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
END TIMES PRODUCES GODLY CONDUCT
2 Peter 3:11
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness.
