2 PETER

Chapter 1

read chapter

STUDY:

  • God called us to what?

  • What did He grant us?

  • What do we become partakers in?

  • What are we to make every effort to supplement our faith in?

  • What does this text say about having these qualities?

  • What does this passage say to those who lack these qualities?

  • What are we to be diligent about in verse 10?

  • What was Peter an eyewitness of?

  • What does the last section of this chapter say about prophecy of the Scriptures?

DIG DEEPER:

  • Read verse 3 again.  What "things" can you think of that God has granted us that pertain to life and godliness?

  • In verse 21 it says, "carried along by the Holy Spirit".   What do you think this means?  How were the prophets writing Scripture being carried along by the Spirit?

APPLICATION:

  • What steps can you take to make sure that your faith is supplemented with the qualities listed in this passage?

  • How do you make your calling and election sure?  In otherwords, how can you be secure in your salvation?  How do you work out your salvation?

  • Do you fully believe that ALL Scripture is truth?  As Peter writes in verse 21, NO Scripture was written by the will of man, but through the Holy Spirit it was written.

Read my thoughts on this chapter:

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

Therefore brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities (stated in verses 5-7) you will never fail.  {Verse 10}
