Today's Verse is II Peter 3:1-2
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
There has been a period, when I questioned, "why is the Word of God important?" As I learned this passage and its context, I understood one of many answers to this question. II Peter is a comparsion and contrast. Peter is teaching us that we must know (not just read) God's Word, so that we might be protected from the lies of those that wish to deceive us. For there are many who would gladly trap us in our own vices that they may have power over us, to do their bidding. (Blackmail being only a secondary tool.) Therefore, let us remember what Jesus Christ has done for us. When He died upon the cross, and rose again, He provided for us first forgiveness, and then power. For once we come to Him, He forgives us of all that we have done, and all that we will do, Then He begins to work in us enabling us to follow Him in both word and deed. To Him be the Glory both now and for ever. Amen.
To God Be The Glory
