    2 Peter 2:1-3 False Teaching Will End 5/12/24

    What a false teacher does. Peter points out three main indicators of a false teacher (= a false prophet): they are secretive in their mission of undermining God’s truth, they bring in division against what the scriptures teach, and they deny or minimize Jesus.

    Christ is not a myth. Just as in our day, there were folks in Peter’s era trying to downplay or deny who Christ is and what he has accomplished. To combat this, Peter refers to his own experience: at the transfiguration, he saw Jesus in his glory. Peter beheld his Savior and King in a way that was undeniable, and which was confirmed by the voice of the Father from heaven. So, when Peter speaks of Christ, of turning to him and awaiting his return, Peter speaks truth.

    God’s people are called to remember – to look back and recall truths that matter, so that we aren’t blown about by every new idea that comes along.

    God-given effort. Peter’s point is that the knowledge of Christ is meant to be applied. It is less like an insurance policy and more like instructions: directions to a life of faithfulness and freedom and joy. We pursue that life as we pursue Christ-like virtues: not to save us (Jesus has already done that), not to keep us in the faith (Christ’s power is enough), but to grow in and respond to Jesus with our lives.

    The knowledge of God. One of 2 Peter’s major themes relates to knowledge: knowing and understanding who Christ is and what he has done. That knowledge is essential to faithful life in Christ, and it is through that knowledge that grace and peace flourish within God’s people.

    God’s love. Our unity flows forth from the secure foundation of God’s love: because we have first been loved so perfectly and wonderfully by him, we can now love one another and love those whom the Lord sends us out to.
