Summary“Until He Comes: Stand Together, Knowing Him!”- II Peter 1:1-11Imagine if someone would give you all the materials for a house: the concrete for the foundation, every piece of wood, every strand of wire, every accompanying fixture, everything to complete the house, even the land upon which to build it. Wouldn’t that be great! Imagine if that same someone was an architect and builder, and he volunteered to build the house for you, but requiring that you work with him. What a gift! In essence, that is what God has done and is doing for us in Christ. For those in Christ, who believe and receive Christ by faith, God has given us everything we need to live the Christian life. And, He has done and is doing the work in us, but He insists that we work with Him in our spiritual growth. 2012 Theme: “Until He Comes” - looking for Jesus to come and living according to that perspective. Until He comes, we must stand together, knowing the truth, embracing the truth, standing on the truth. II Peter 1:1-11 False teaching invading the Church when Peter wrote this epistle: Judaism - Faith in Christ was not enough; you had to keep the rituals of the Jewish law (circumcision, feasts, traditions). Gnosticism (thought to be superior knowledge) - Only the spiritual matters, not physical/material. Led to either asceticism or licentiousness. Denied that Jesus came in the flesh. Peter was concerned that we have precise and correct knowledge of God and of the formation of the Christian life. Vs. 3-4 - The Christian life itself is the work of God in us. Vs3 - Everyone in Christ has everything we need to live the Christian Life - Life = “living it up” (J. Vernon McGee), abundant life - living up to who we are in Christ. - Godliness - piety towards God, Christ-likeness. Ray Stedman: “All the necessities, both for handling life & for manifesting righteousness, or godliness in the world are ours. Everyone who has genuinely come to Jesus Christ, w/out exception, has all that it takes to handle all that life can throw at him.” “If you come to Christ, you have Him & if you have Him, you have all that God is ever going to give you. You have all power & all things that pertain to life & godliness thru the knowledge of Him.” This is the work of God - by His divine power. This is the gift of God - He has granted this to us who believe. This comes though the knowledge of Christ - embracing by faith who He is and what He has done. The Lord Jesus has called us to His own glory and excellence. Romans 8:29-30 - a sure thing! Vs4 - By His glory and excellence, He has given to us precious and great promises: New and eternal life - II Cor. 5:17, John 3:16 The Holy Spirit within - John 14:16-17 Sanctification - Philippians 1:6, 2:12-13 And many more! Through these promises we who believe become partakers of the divine nature - Sons and daughters of God; Grow in Christ-likeness, Being made like Him. Through the knowledge of Christ we escape the corruption of sinful desire - delivered from the power of sin, set free in Christ, enabled to live for God. Vs5-7 (next week) - knowing what we know and having what we have in Christ, we can walk/work with God in the process of sanctification. Until He comes, let us stand together on the truth of what God has done for us in Christ, what we have in Christ, and who we are in Christ. Let us work together w/God to be who He called us to be. |
