2 Peter  -  Study #1​

​​

Chapter 1:

5.  Comment on the character traits Peter tells us to add to our faith (from KJV) in verses 5-7.  Are they listed in order of importance?  Can we pick and choose which to work on?

     ---  virtue

     ---  knowledge

     ---  temperance

     ---  patience

     ---  godliness

     ---  brotherly kindness

     ---  charity

6.  Vss. 8-9:  What is the importance of these qualities “abounding” in us?  What does that mean?

7.  Vss. 10-11:  “For if you do these things, you will never stumble.”  Why does Peter wrap up his thoughts on these fruits of the spirit with words that sound like a guarantee of success?  Do other scriptures have the same thought of confirmation?

8.  Vss. 12-15:  What is the difference between “reminding” us of things we already know and “teaching” us in the first place?  Consider John 14:26.

9.  Vss. 16-20:  Who is Peter speaking about in these verses?  What is his statement about the prophets and their prophecies?  Why is this important to us?
