We read all of 2 Peter and reflect on how an open Bible forms discernment, courage, and hope. False teachers promise freedom but lead to slavery, while God’s patience invites repentance and a steady, holy life that waits well for Christ’s return.
• why godliness requires an open Bible
• how Peter’s eyewitness account grounds faith
• the virtue ladder that guards fruitfulness
• recognizing and resisting false teachers
• true freedom versus slavery to desire
• God’s patience as mercy, not delay
• living holy and at peace as we wait
• growing in grace and knowledge to stand firm
“Are you armed? Are you equipped? Are you in the fight?”
