WHAT WAS THE VERSE OF PROMISE THAT ADAM AND EVE HUNG ON BY FAITH TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE SAVED?
2PETER 1: [4] Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
FISHERMAN PETER HAD KNOWLEDGE FROM JESUS THAT HE WOULD DIE SOON, BUT WHAT WAS ON HIS MIND BUT HIS FLOCK, WORRYING THAT THEY MIGHT FALL, THUS HE WRITES THIS EPISTLE TO GIVE THEM 7 THINGS, IF THEY WILL DILIGENTLY APPLY TO THEMSELVES, THAT THEY WILL NEVER FALL. IN THE LEAD UP TO THESE 7 THINGS HE SPEAKS TO THEM ABOUT THE EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES AVAILABLE TO THEM.
WE WILL BE WARNED
HOW FAITH CAN MADE VOID
AND THE PROMISE OF NONE EFFECT.
FISHERMAN PETER THOUGH BEING AN UNEDUCATED FISHERMAN PACKS A LOT OF DOCTRINE INTO THIS BRIEF LETTER.
PETER WAS A NEW CREATION & LIKE ALL NEW CREATIONS YOU CAN TELL HOW HE ATE, SLEEPT & DRANK THE PROMISES OF GOD AND THAT IS WHY FISHERMAN PETER SAYS THE FOLLOWING:
2 PETER 1: [4] Whereby are
given unto us
exceeding great and precious promises:
WHY?
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
BUT FORMER MR. MORALITY SAYS THIS:
ROM. 4: [13] For the promise,
that ABRAHAM should be the heir of the world,
was not to Abraham, or to his seed,
through the law,
but through the righteousness of faith.
[14] For if they which are of the law be heirs,
FAITH is made VOID , and the PROMISE made OF NONE EFFECT.
WE WILL TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO VERSE 4 OF 2PETER.
