In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Paul established the fact of inspiration by declaring that “All Scripture is inspired by God.” Peter now explains the process behind that inspiration in 2 Peter 1:16-21. How did God breathe out His Word? How did divine revelation become written Scripture? How could human authors write while God remained the ultimate Author? Peter answers those questions in this passage. His words reveal that the Scriptures did not originate in human imagination, religious creativity, or personal insight. Holy men spoke from God because they were “Moved by the Holy Spirit.” The same God who breathed out His Word also carried along the men who wrote it. Therefore, the Bible can be trusted completely, obeyed confidently, and treasured deeply because its ultimate source is not man, but God Himself.

2 Peter 1:12 - 2:22 - Pursuing Growth in godliness and Avoiding False Teachings by MERCYhouse
For the Bible Tells Me So (2 Peter 1:16-21) by Timberline Baptist Church
2 Peter starts off with character traits that develop when we accept the fruit of the Spirit and live in our Faith. We need to add and keep advancing these qualities in our lives.

In this powerful study of 2 Peter 1:10–11, Cliff Goodwin explores Peter's challenge to “make your calling and election sure.” What does it mean to confirm your faith? How can Christians avoid falling away? And what does Peter mean by an “abundant entrance” into the everlasting kingdom of Christ? This lesson focuses on spiritual growth, diligence, assurance, and the hope of eternal life. If you've ever struggled with doubt, consistency, or spiritual direction, this study offers biblical encouragement and practical application straight from God's Word.

Our Passive Role in Spiritual Growth (vv. 1-4) - Our Growth Begins with God's Initiative (vv. 1-3) - Our Growth Continues as we Hear & Believe (v. 4)Our Active Role in Spiritual Growth (vv. 5-11) - True Spiritual Growth is Comprehensive (vv. 5-7) - True Spiritual Growth is Continual (v. 8) - True Spiritual Growth is Essential (vv. 9-11)Discussion Questions1. Think about a time in your life when you experienced significant spiritual growth. What were some of the key elements that led to your growth?Our Passive Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:1-4)2. What does it mean that God “has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness” (1:3)? Does this mean we don't need any outside resources like books or other people? How would you explain this?3. One way we grow and become “partakers of the divine nature” is by hearing and believing His “precious and very great promises” (1:4). What promises has God made that encourage you most? 4. What are some practical ways we can make sure we continue believing and trusting so we keep growing in Christ? Our Active Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:5-11)5. Peter mentions eight characteristics in vv. 5-7. We are supposed to “make every effort” to grow in these areas. In which of these areas do you need to grow?6. In v.8 we learn we should be “increasing” in these eight areas and in our spiritual growth. Are you in a season of spiritual growth right now? If not, what next steps can you take?7. Do you tend to emphasize the active role or the passive role in your spiritual growth? Which aspect needs some extra attention right now? Pray for the Unreached: The Kapu in India The Kapu are a large Hindu community in southern India, historically known as farmers and protectors, with many still engaged in agriculture today. While some have moved into business, education, and leadership, many remain in rural areas with limited access to resources. Though the Bible and gospel tools are available, only a small percentage follow Christ. Pray for a growing movement of disciples among the Kapu, for hearts to be open to the gospel, and for both their spiritual and physical needs to be met.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/19 40,027Giving For 04/26 20,288YTD Budget 1,488,462Giving 1,796,478 OVER/(UNDER) 308,016 Fellowship Baby DedicationFellowship is grateful to partner with parents as they dedicate their children to the Lord.

This message from 2 Peter 1:7–11, explains how growing in godly virtues—knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and agape love—leads to assurance of salvation and visible spiritual fruit. The contrast bears two outcomes: those who diligently pursue these qualities will be fruitful, while those who neglect them risk spiritual blindness and forgetfulness.
Knowing God vs Knowing About God | 2 Peter 1 by Christ Covenant
If we want to live ready, we need something sure beneath our feet. The world is full of competing voices, shifting opinions, and spiritual confusion. Where can we find something solid to stand on? Peter reminds us that our faith is not built on myth or speculation, but God's revelation of himself in Christ and his trustworthy Scriptures. God gives us truth we can count on — truth that steadies us, guides us, and keeps us from drifting. Join us for "Truth You Can Trust" from 2 Peter 1:12-21.
