2 Peter 1:1-2

(2 Peter 1:1-2)

『Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 』

 

Those who receive this letter are born again. Those who are born again receive faith from God. 『through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ』. 『through』means “in the Holy Spirit”. So, "the one in the righteousness of Christ" means the one who is born again. What is the same as "like precious faith"? It is connected to 『Our God』. They are those who have received precious faith from God like jewelry.

 

In the letter, the Apostle Paul first said ``Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,''. The Apostle Paul wrote to most of the callers, except for some in 1 Corinthians. But from Hebrews, the content begins to change. After the new covenant was spoken in Hebrews, it began to change from James. In James 1:18, "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures" means "new birth." In 1 Peter 1:2, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Those who were chosen are the target.

The one who was chosen is, "The Holy Spirit sanctified and chose to obtain obedience and sprinkle the blood of Jesus Christ."
So in Chapter 1:3, 『According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 』
Those who are chosen are born again. In Chapter 1:23, 『Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. In the first book of John, the phrase “born from God” appears eight times.

Faith is different from the faith I decided to believe and the faith I received from God. In Revelation 13:8, ``And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 』
In the last days, the Antichrist establishes his idol. The Bible says that if people do not bow to the idol, they will kill them all. It means that those who do not receive the 666 mark are prohibited from buying or selling. However, when you receive the ticket, in 14:10, 『The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 』

When you read this article, you will think, "If I get back then, I must never get the ticket." However, those who think such things become those who are under the law. The same goes for those who say, "If people get 666, they should go to hell because they are going to hell." Those who say so are those under the law. People who are not born again will receive everything. It was Peter. When Peter was not born again, he left Jesus before the cross and fled. Even if you experience some miracle, learn the words of eternal life, and realize that Jesus is the Son of God, you will receive the mark if you are not born again. Only those recorded in the Lamb's book of life do not receive the mark, Revelation (13:8) said.

At the Passover supper, Jesus said, "You will forsake me tonight," but the disciples replied, "No one will abandon you." Likewise in Revelation, 『And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. ", but those who are not born again will say, "I do not bow down to idols." There is no one who will not bow down with human power. Like passionate explorers, they think, "If we enter Canaan, we die." The old man (guilty) says that he must be dead to be born again, but pastors say that guilty never dies. So they think of being born again as a state of mind.

2 Peter 2:5-22

(2 Peter 2:5-22) And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;   And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;   And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:   (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)   The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:   But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.   Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. ...

2 Peter 1:3-10

(2 Peter 1:3-10) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:   Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.   And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;   And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;   And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.   For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.   Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your callin...

2 Peter 2:1-3

(2 Peter 2:1-3) B ut there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.   And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.   In a second letter to the scattered traveler's church, Peter warns that false teachers will enter the church. The false teachers that Peter was concerned about are called beasts without reason. 『 even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 』   The purpose of the false teachers was to make the Saints deny Jesus. In order to save people, Jesus suffered himself and was crucified and died of blood. Because Jesu...
