Introduction to II Peter

An Approved Workman

In today’s episode, we are kicking-off our new series: “Grow in Grace, Grow in Knowledge”, a study of the book of II Peter.

• As believers, we are citizens of God’s Kingdom living in a foreign territory. And this is not only foreign territory, but it is also hostile territory.
• As the world system hates and opposes Jesus, so too they will openly hate and oppose His people.
• On top of that, we experience the trials and tribulations that come from living in a world that has been cursed by sin.
• We live with the consequences of sin. The sins of others and our own sins. We long to be free from all that evil and suffering. But in the meantime, how should we live?

Introduction

The Apostle Peter who walked with Jesus, lived for Jesus, and died for Jesus encourages us as we live as “strangers and pilgrims” in this foreign and hostile territory.

He wrote 2 epistles to a group of believers who were scattered throughout the world and faced similar challenges. He understands that we will face trials and hostility. He understands things are not easy.

In today’s episode, we are beginning Volume 2 of our series: “Strangers and Pilgrims” on I Peter and II Peter.

Let’s get started with an introduction to II Peter.
