Let Us Be Reminded (1 of 7)
Series: The Book of 2 Peter
Dan Rodgers
2 Peter 1:1-12
INTRODUCTION: Last week, we concluded our study of I Peter. This evening, we will begin our study of II Peter. Before we do, let's note a few things:
1. The author is Peter: (Vs. 1), ''Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ...''
2. The date is said to be around 66 A. D.

a. Man without God is lost in sin-hopelessly lost and without power to change his condition. Romans 3:23 declares: ''For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.''
b. Thank God, the story doesn't end with (vs. 3), it continues on with (vv. 24-26), Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; [26] To declare, I say, at this time his rig ...
