Key Scripture:

2 Peter 3:9 ESV

9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

God desires everyone to come to repentance. Repentance is the opportunity and the gateway to the gospel.

Structure:

Chapter 1: True Christian Belief

Chapter 2: False Teachers

Chapter 3: Christ’s Return

Purpose of the Book:

1. To stir the saints to godliness

2. To warn them of false teachers and scoffers within

3. To contrast true and false knowledge

4. To describe the judgments relative to the day of the Lord

Message of the Book:

1. True knowledge is evidenced by growth and goodness

Obedience opens up our knowledge to who God is

2. The believer must remain pure and loyal in days of corruption and apostasy

3. All doctrinal and moral corruption will be judged at the day of the Lord

Paul and Peter both on the last chapters of the books they wrote talk about the coming of the Lord. The day of Judgement… it’s a day of reckoning of everything that has been done.
