Knowledge and the Word of God
–2
The key word of the epistle is knowledge, which occurs twelve times in its various forms (1:2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 16, 20; 2:20, 21; 3:3, 17, 18).
In a letter that aims to combat false teaching, the knowledge of the truth is the key idea.
Together with this,
Peter stresses the importance of remembering certain things (, ; ) and shows the danger of forgetting important truths (; ).
Thus, throughout the letter, the teachings of the Word of God are represented as true and normative for the Christian life.
God has made full provision for the spiritual life of the believer ().
Thus, the believer’s responsibility is to avail himself of the divine resources so that he will be neither “barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” ().
This is Peter’s opening thought in the epistle, and by means of these statements he prepares the way for his main arguments.

God has made full provision for the spiritual life of the believer ().

This is Peter’s opening thought in the epistle, and by means of these statements he prepares the way for his main arguments.
First, the Word of God given by the Holy Spirit (, ) is that to which we should give heed ().
Because its source is divine, its message is authoritative.
It should be stressed that the chief thrust of the statement in , is regarding the origin, not the meaning, of Scripture.
It came not “by the will of man” but “by the Holy Ghost.”

Knowledge and the false teaching
Second, the path taken by the false teachers, who deny “the Lord that bought them,” leads toward certain judgment () and “the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” ().
Those who follow them can expect nothing better.
The sure judgment of God upon the sinners of the Old Testament (, , , ) is a solemn warning to all.

Knowledge and the Second Coming
Third, the Second Coming of Christ will be God’s vindication of His name and purpose, and “the day of the Lord” will be the day of judgment for the scoffers of the world (chap.
3).
Those who deny the reality of this event forget “this one thing,” says Peter, “that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” ().
Only because God is longsuffering, “not willing that any should perish,” do the scoffers even remain to carry on their false ways ().

Conclusion—Steadfastness and growth
This final message leaves a challenge with the readers of the letter.
“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless … But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be the glory both now and for ever” (, ).
Remember that Jesus died on the the cross ,but the Father got him up with all power in haven and earth.
He died our sin so we have eternal life.
Amen
