The Second Epistle of Peter July 18, 2010 Lesson 11 2 Peter 3:1-7
SCOFFERS DOUBT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
In these last days, we must prepare for scoffers and their scoffing.
We must know the Word (1-2) Remembering the predictions of the holy prophets (2a) Remembering the commandment of our Lord and Savior (2b)
We must recognize scoffers (3-4) Their unbelief: they scoff the second coming of Christ (3a) Their practice: they follow their sinful desires (3b) Their error: they believe in the principle of uniformity (4)
We must demonstrate the error of uniformity (5-7) The earth was formed by the Word of God--from and through water (5) The earth was destroyed by the Word of God--through water (6) The earth will be destroyed again by the Word of God--by fire (7)
Applications:
1. Know your Bibles 2. Live in the knowledge of God's certain coming judgment upon the world 3. Know that God sent Jesus to die for those of us facing this certain judgment 4. Know that evolution is built upon a faulty premise-uniformity 5. God is sovereign--He holds creation together, and He acts as He wills!
