“The Reward of Unrighteousness”

2 Peter 2:13 KJV [13] “and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;”      In our own society, there are so-called “ministers” who plead for finances for their ministries while living lavish lifestyles. They live in extravagant houses and wear costly clothes all in the name of ministry. Let me assure you that I believe preachers should be well cared for by the congregation. The Bible teaches that God will bless His people for …

“Wild Animals”

2 Peter 2:12 KJV [12] “But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;”      In this verse, Peter compares false teachers to brute beasts, unreasoning animals driven by instinct rather than truth. These individuals act on impulse, abandon the authority of God’s Word, and follow their own sinful desires. Though they may appear intelligent or persuasive, Scripture makes it clear that they lack true spiritual understanding. They speak boldly about matters they do not comprehend, mocking sacred truths while …

“Leave the Judgment in His Hands”

2 Peter 2:11 KJV [11] “Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.”      In this passage, we consider the power and strength of angels. Throughout Scripture, angels conduct God’s judgment, deliver His messages, and protect His people. They are far greater in strength and power than humanity. Yet despite their superiority, they refuse to bring railing accusations against sinful man, but leave judgment in the Lord’s hands. Such restraint reveals a deep reverence for God’s authority and a clear recognition that vengeance belongs to Him alone. Now, consider the …

“A Self-Willed Society”

2 Peter 2:10 KJV [10] “but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”      Peter paints a sobering picture of a self-willed society. He describes individuals who “walk after the flesh,” meaning they are not governed by God’s Spirit, but by their own sinful desires. We can all see the moral decay that is taking place in America today. The Word of God declares that men would become “lovers of their own selves.” The “lust of uncleanness” is living …

“My God Delivers Again”

2 Peter 2:9 KJV [9] “the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:”      The Bible is filled with powerful accounts of God delivering His people from impossible circumstances. When it looked like there was no way, it was because there truly was no way, but God made a way. He alone is the Way. The phrase “knoweth how” reminds us of God’s perfect wisdom and unfailing ability. Nothing is too hard for Him, and nothing is impossible. He is fully capable of handling …
