2 Petus 2:21-22

Shortly after writing his first letter, Peter hears word of false teaching spreading amongst the churches in Asia Minor. The letter focuses on combating false teachers and encouraging believers to grow in spiritual maturity by studying the Scriptures. Second Peter reminds us to be diligent in confirming our calling by cultivating Christ-likeness in all aspects of our lives.

This plan studies the second half of chapter two of Peter’s second epistle, where he warns the Church, those who walked closely with Christ, against false teachers. Peter lays out a series of warnings: warnings of deception, demise, and defeat. Jesus asked Peter to tend to His sheep. Peter does that here by saying, “Don’t be fooled. Be on the alert!”

Imagine yourself walking hand in hand with the Lord, focusing on the salvation Jesus has purchased for you in the cross and the righteousness that you partake with Him as His child. This reading plan will help you reflect on His goodness and to desire more of Him so you can be more like Him.

2 Peter is all about Jesus! This 4-day plan will walk you through the book of 2 Peter by reading just a chapter or two a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.
