Continue To Grow In Grace

2 Pet. 3:17-18

Two days ago we shared from this same passage of the scriptures. Verse 17 begins by saying since we know all these things; “What are those things?” These things are mentioned between verses 1 and 15. Since we know that there will be scoffers at the last days, that a thousand year with men is like a day with God, that Christ’s return will be sudden, that God has not forgotten His promise of destroying the present world with fire, and that the long suffering of our Lord is salvation, how should these information or knowledge sharpen or prepare us for His kingdom? It’s often said that wisdom is the application of knowledge. Therefore, any knowledge or body of knowledge that doesn’t culminate into wisdom is not profitable to whoever lays claim to such knowledge. Since we know all these things, we need to live as wise people, as we discussed earlier this week. In addition, a profound warning is given in this passage. You need to be steadfast as you lay hold on the word of God tenaciously, while you continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus.

Point of Emphasis: Don’t allow anyone to make you fall from your steadfastness

Prayer Point: Oh Lord, continue to uphold me with your mighty power
