In 2 Peter Chapter 1, our teacher John Mathews emphasizes that

believers have “Everything We Need” for a godly life through their

knowledge of Jesus Christ. He reassures us that Jesus’ sacrifice is

sufficient and that the teachings of the apostles provide us with all

the necessary guidance. Peter encourages Christians to lead lives

of virtue, knowledge, self-control, godliness and love, confirming

their calling and election. He also affirms the truthfulness of

Scripture, emphasizing that prophecy is not open to personal

interpretation but is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
