This is part 3 of a study in 2 Peter 2. In verses 4-9 we have 3 examples of the certainty of God's judgment that will also fall upon false prophets and false teachers. Peter also gives us 2 examples of God saving out His own people even in the midst of judgment. These stories also demonstrate that God saves imperfect people and keeps them secure even when they truly fail God. But being an imperfect follower is a far cry from being a false follower or a false teacher.

In the face of overwhelming judgment on the Day of the Lord, Joel stresses the need for genuine repentance. While a lot of folks go through the motions of confession, Christians often lack true repentance. John the Baptist even gives us some tests to know whether our repentance is genuine.

This is part 2 of a study in 2 Peter 2:1-3 where Peter begins addressing the problems of false teachers and false prophets -- a problem that is still placing a major impact on Christianity today. In 2 Peter 2, Peter makes a significant shift in the topics covered so far to begin a long passage warning his readers of the dangers of false prophets and teachers. Even today, there are so many people speaking falsely from popular pulpits to "tickle the ears" of those hearing their teaching. But these teachers are not giving the truth of God's Word. They appear like angels of light to their audience but inwardly are preaching a message that will destroy the audience and themselves.

Dr. Steven Woodworth teaches a family Bible study on 1 Corinthians 14 and discusses the difficult subject of tongues. It was a gift of speaking in a known language used to confirm to the Jews that they had rejected the Messiah and that the Holy Spirit of God fell upon believers. Then it seems to have devolved into an unknown language and Paul said he would rather speak 1 word of God's truth in a known language than 10,000 in an unknown language. Paul gives guidelines in 1 Corinthians 14 on the use of tongues -- and if believers who claim to have that gift today followed the guidelines, then they would remain silent. Dr. Woodworth is a professor of history at Texas Christian University and Liberty University. (For a deeper look at spiritual gifts, please listen to the entire series on spiritual gifts.

In 2 Peter 1:18-21, Peter explains the process that brought us the Word of God -- Revelation, Inspiration, Illumination, and Interpretation. We have in the pages of the 66 books of the Bible the only sure Word of God.

In 2 Peter 1:12-17, Peter ties together how the Incarnate Word -- Jesus Christ -- is tied to the Word of God that we have in the Bible. All 66 books of the Bible were written by those who were eyewitnesses of Jesus Christ and His work in the New Testament or eyewitnesses of Jehovah in His dealings with people in the Old Testament. The Scripture canon was closed when the last of the eyewitnesses passed from the scene. Also, Peter knew that he was dying soon, but in this passage is one of the greatest comforts for any funeral service anywhere -- because our exit from this world facilitates a far more glorious entrance into the next phase of our life -- our eternal life -- if we have received Christ. Peter also recounts what he saw on the Mount of Transfiguration. There is a reason that he wanted to build 3 tabernacles that day -- the right idea but with the wrong timing. That experience made Peter passionate about the subject of the Second Coming of Christ. And it made him passionate to keep on reminding peopl
