Peter concludes his second letter by discussing the end of the age, the return of Christ and what that tells us about how we should live now.
13 2 Peter 3:8-9 Free will and God’s sovereignty
2 Peter 3:8-9 features in the debate over God’s sovereignty and human free will. While this verse does not settle the debate, understanding what Peter means in context teaches us a lot about both good Bible study and the issues in the debate.
12 Peter 3:1-7 The Point of it all
Peter argues that more than anything else we need to find life through forgiveness and to find fulfillment through righteousness. It is this hope that he wants us to remember such that we let it change our lives today.
11 2 Peter 2:17-22 Freedom, slavery and sin
Peter warns that the false teachers are like springs without water, promising freedom but delivering destruction and he warns his readers not be deceived by their empty promises.
10 2 Peter 2:13-16 Balaam and the false teachers
Continuing his warnings about the false teachers, Peter uses of Balaam from Numbers 22-24. Like Balaam, the false teachers are profiting from causing the people of God to stumble.
