In this session, Erin Warren teaches through 2 Peter 2. In contrast to the prophecies of God (a continuation from 2 Peter 1), the words of false prophets are rooted in human authority, greed, and self-exaltation. Peter gives an extensive explanation of the behavior of a false prophet, but also reminds the recipients of the letter (and us) that God always executes justice on those who choose sin over surrender to Him, but also saves those who put their trust in God. He uses several Old Testament examples to prove this point. It is a reminder to remain rooted in the truth of Scripture.

Peter knew suffering, but Peter also knew Jesus. His letters are an encouragement to anyone facing hardships and trials and a reminder that we can be steadfast because our God is steadfast. And when we persevere, what awaits us in eternity is worth far more than anything this world has to offer.
