False prophets and teachers may offer a lil’ hope, but they’re empty and worthless––we must be able to spot, reject, and stand against false teachers and teaching or we are playing with fire.

The Lord will rescue the godly, He’ll welcome believers home one glorious day, but for the ungodly, the unbelievers, destruction awaits unless they relent and repent, which we’ll see as we continue our study of 2nd Peter.

Hell is real, and hell is hot; God is God, and you are not––as the holy and righteous God that He is, He can, must, and will judge sin. What gives hope for believers should give fear for unbelievers, which gives Christians their purpose: Warn the lost and dying of the judgment to come!

False teachers’ doom is as sure as judgment that has come (over sinful angels, the sinful world, and sinful cities) and will come again. Before judgment comes, there’s time to turn to Christ and LIVE!

You’ll never withstand false teaching if you don’t spend time in the real thing, the Word of God. Relying on a few “meals” a month through gathered worship isn’t enough––you gotta hear from God everyday, and you can do that by spending time in His Word.

When times are good, it’s easy to forget our need for God. When times are bad, it’s tempting to doubt God and His goodness and care. Whether we’re on the mountain or down in the valley, God’s Word can guide us through it all. We see that as we study 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Hard times come and go, and so does false teaching and false teachers. When we remember both God’s Word and His promises, as well as His past deliverances in times of difficulty. That’s the point Peter seems to make in 2 Peter 1:12-15.
