The apostle having stated the blessings to which God has called Christians, exhorts those who had received these precious gifts, to endeavour to improve in graces and virtues. They are urged to this from the wickedness of false teachers. They are guarded against impostors and scoffers, by disproving their false assertions, ch. 3:1-7 , and by showing why the great day of Christ's coming was delayed, with a description of its awful circumstances and consequences; and suitable exhortations to diligence and holiness are given.” - Matthew Henry Concise.  Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 2nd Peter Chapter 1; ”Exhortations to add the exercise of various other graces to faith (1-11) The apostle looks forward to his approaching decease. (12-15) And confirms the truth of the gospel, relating to Christ's appearing to judgment. (16-21). Verses 1-11 Faith unites the weak believer to Christ, as really as it does the strong one, and purifies the heart of one as truly as of another; and every sincere believer is by his faith justified in the sight of God. Faith worketh godliness, and produces effects which no other grace… Those who are diligent in the work of religion, shall have a triumphant entrance into that everlasting kingdom where Christ reigns, and they shall reign with him for ever and ever; and it is in the practice of every good work that we are to expect entrance to heaven. Verses 12-15 We must be established in the belief of the truth, that we may not be shaken by every wind of doctrine; and especially in the truth necessary for us to know in our day, what belongs to our peace, and what is opposed in our time… This is the way to spread the knowledge of the Lord; and by the written word, they are enabled to do this. Verses 16-21 The gospel is no weak thing, but comes in power, Ro. 1:16 . The law sets before us our wretched state by sin, but there it leaves us... Mix faith with what you find in the Scriptures, and esteem and reverence the Bible as a book written by holy men, taught by the Holy Ghost.” - Matthew Henry Concise Paul is says that we have what we need to live a life that pleases God (see 2 Peter 1) we don’t need a man or an organization to interpreted God’s Word because the Holy Spirit will be our guide and teacher; “20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2-peter 1:20-21 English Standard Versions (ESV).  No Saint should ever apologize for God’s Word we should live by it; (see Romans 1:16) Jesus is the only one that can save and bless people. “14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 ESV.  Be encouraged by the love of God (see Psalm 100:1-2) be humble in your ministry sharing Jesus as the only perfect man who ever lived.  Listen!  Can you hear Jesus calling you?  Will you answer Him now?
