Things To Remember
Well, it’s Father’s Day and just to show you that God’s Word is always applicable to us, we come to our next book as we make our way through the bible a book at a week — the book of Peter with a Fresh Message.
Novelty is not a word to describe the Bible.
It’s old.
It’s not new.
But it is always fresh — It’s always very fresh, and relevant, and sufficient — and what God wants us to do is to teach and obey His Word.
A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian…and most of all, his family ought to know.
— D.L. Moody
Deuteronomy 5:
And Father’s — this is your duty as a believer.
One way in which your children know you are a Christian is by Repeating God’s word to your children.
Talk about it, when you’re sitting, when you’re walking, when you lie down and when you get up.
Bringing the Word to their remembrance.
What does that mean?
It means Repeat God’s Word to your children all the time — Remind them!
It’s what He commanded His people to do in the OT and His will has not changed.
We need to be reminded.
We need to remember things.
There are important things to remember.
Israel suffered greatly for poor memory in spit of all the warnings and reminders throughout the centuries.
Look one more time at .
There waw that
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
Repeat them to your children.
Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Repeat them, repeat them, repeat them.
Repeat the God’s Word over and over to your children, and your grandchildren.
And so — God commanded this repetedly throughout the OT — for them to Remember.
Deuteronomy 7:18
Psalm 78:7
Calls to remembrance of God, His word, and His works is replete throughout the Scripture.
Let’
With that in mind, let’s turn to our text — .
The leader of the Twelve wanted believers to avoid the hazards of spiritual negligence; therefore he labored vigorously through his preaching and writings to remind them of important issues.
In face, so great was his desire, that in 2 Peter he offered a final will and testament to remind them of some vital things that they may “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Let’s read our text.
And so, Paul sets out to Remind them of these things.
Let’s look at first, the Urgency to be Reminded.
2
I.
There is an Urgency to be Reminded.
Therefore — refers back to what he has just finished saying concerning salvation and assurance and launches us into the urgency of Remembering.
Peter used the future tense — “I will always remind you.”
Or like the NASB states it — “I will always be ready to remind you.”
This is good for us to understand and remember.
There is an urgency to Peter that he will always be ready to remind the church of truth whenever he is given the opportunity.
This is what Pastors are to do, right?
2 Timothy 4:
Right?
And Fathers, you should be ready to give it to your children.
And listen — they never get to old for you to remind them of these things!
Do you see Peter’s urgency in it?
He will always be ready to remind them.
He’s prepared for it.
He’s ready for it.
It’s the way he will teach, the way he will preach — to remind them and remind them and remind them.
It’s over and over again.
So, we have to first understand that there is an urgency to this message.
There is an urgency because of what we need to be reminded of.
These Things
What’s he remind them of?
Well — he says — THESE THINGS!
II.
There are some necessary things to be reminded of.
These Things
In particular there are numerous things to be reminded of and if we were going verse by verse and not as an overview of the book, we would look at each of these things.
And let me just list them for you.
These are the things in verses 1-11.
Faith
Salvation
The Divine Gift of “Life and Godliness”
Promises
Being Partakers of the Divine Nature
Escaping from Corruption
Fruitfulness and
Diligence of Certainty
So, Paul gives glorious and wonderful things in just 11 verses.
But let me summarize these under two headings:
The Greatness of Salvation (vs 1-3) and The Blessedness of Assurance (vs 4-11)
The Greatness of Salvation
In verse 3 Paul makes the amazing statement concerning our salvation: “Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness.”
Whatever spiritual sufficiency you have and are living in as a Christian is not because of any power of yourself.
This is derived from His divine power.
Ephesians
This Divine Power that operates in the believer is the same power that resurrected Christ from the dead.
His refers back to the Lord Jesus.
If Peter were referring to God, then he wouldn’t have used the word Divine.
He’s point out and underscoring the divine nature of the Son.
But the point of this is that God supplies the spiritual power for believers — this Divine Power and it is for everything pertaining to life and godliness.
Everything
Everything emphatically tells us we lack nothing!
If you think about God’s commandments and the fullness of them, then we understand the complete incapability to keep them.
Matthew 5:
That is an incredible fulness of the command not to commit adultery.
How can we as men live in that?
Guys, we can only do that through the Divine Power!
Do you see how wonderful this is?
How urgent it is?
This is what Paul endeavors to remind them of.
Life and Godliness
This defines the realm of sanctification, living out the glory of God on this earth between initial salvation and our ultimate glorification.
