2 Peter 1 Everything We Need

In 2 Peter Chapter 1, our teacher John Mathews emphasizes that believers have “Everything We Need” for a godly life through their knowledge of Jesus Christ. He reassures us that Jesus’ sacrifice is sufficient and that the teachings of the apostles provide us with all the necessary guidance. Peter encourages Christians to lead lives of virtue, knowledge, self-control, godliness and love, confirming their calling and election. He also affirms the truthfulness of Scripture, emphasizing that prophecy is not open to personal interpretation but is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
