Shortly before his death, Peter desired to build up the faith of these believers so that they could recognize what was counterfeit by knowing what is true. He knew that if they increased in their understanding and application of Scripture, they would grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Believers have a new nature from God, but it needs to be fed and nurtured as they participate with Christ in their growth in grace. Before concluding, Peter warns the churches under his charge against the influence of false teachers infiltrating the churches, denying the Scriptures and the Lord in an attempt to destroy the faith. Peter urges believers to hold tightly to their faith, to continue growing in grace, to keep alert for false teaching, to know the Word, and to be ready and watching for Christ’s return when they will receive their kingdom reward. Patient waiting for Christ is not wasted faith. 5 Lessons from the Book of 2 Peter - Tony Evans #shorts #2Peter #leadership #tonyevans _____________________________________________________________________________ ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
