Bible Note: Hi Tim, May I make a correction on your typing of 1 Peter 3:9 when you meant 2 Peter 3:9? I would like to comment on the context of 2 Peter. I see in 2 Peter the interest of receiving a faith that is equally precious to all of us. It is concerned with knowledge, words, utterances, prophetic words, true words versus false words. It talks of arrogant words and true proverbs. It talks of words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by the apostles. It speaks of the promise of the Word and His words. To me, it speaks of these things and pronouns. 2 Peter 3:9 says to me that we need to interpret, apply, and respond in repentance because of these words of promise and spirit. And that is up to us in that we have to fill ourselves with these words. 2 Peter 3:14, "Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord to be salvation;...18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." From the heart, Ray |
