Apostle Peter in his Second Letter so clearly writes what’s wrong with the world and encourages us with God’s providence and shows how we can partake with God in transforming this world. A study on the Second Letter of Peter. (I use the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible).
Problems of this world:
1. Destructive opinions
2. Deceptive words
3. Depraved lust
4. Despising authority (of God)
5. Defilements of the world (adultery & greed)
6. Deliberate ignorance of the facts of the word of God
(Source: 2 Peter 2nd Chapter; 3:5-8)
Providence of God:
1. Divine power for life & godliness
2. Knowledge of God's glory & goodness
3. God's precious & great promises to escape the corruption of the world
(2 Peter 1:3,4)
Part & Participation of God's people:
So that we may
Become participants of the divine nature (1:4c),
Established in the truth (1:12b),
Herald righteousness (2:5,7),
Not entangled in past sins (2:20,21)
Lead lives of holiness & godliness (3:11b)
Wait for & desire the coming of the day of God (3:12a).
