2 Peter (Program #7) – The Divine Provision (7)
The book of 2 Peter continues the thought of his first epistle; God’s governmental judgment. But it also stresses God’s divine provision for His people to enable them to live under such divine ruling. The first chapter of 2 Peter describes this provision in its various aspects such as the divine power and all things pertaining to life and godliness, the divine promises and even partaking of the divine nature.
These provisions are all on the side of life. But Peter also details provisions on the side of the divine truth. First we have the testimonies of the apostles themselves who were actual eye-witnesses of the glory and majesty of Christ. Second we have the prophetic word shining as a lamp in a dark place to enlighten us until the morning star rises in our hearts.
