Sermon Notes—“Just a Reminder”
April 17, 2016
“We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.”
Colossians 1:28 (NIV)
Lesson Text
12Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you. 13I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder, 14knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind. 16For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”— 18and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
2 Peter 1:12–21 (NASB)
Peter is diligent to remind believers of God’s promises (1:1-4) as the motivation for spiritual growth (1:5-11) because:
We need REMINDERS! (1:13)
Reminders keep us from DRIFTING.
1For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
Hebrews 2:1 (NASB)
TIME is of the ESSENCE. (1:14-15)
14Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
James 4:14 (NASB)
4Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
Psalm 144:4 (ESV)
The information is too IMPORTANT to forget or minimize. (1:16-21)
The New Testament contains eyewitness accounts of the life, ministry, death, resurrection, and coming glory of Christ.
We can be assured His eternal kingdom (1:11) will COME.
The scripture was written by men but originated with God. God’s promises can be TRUSTED.
16All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 (NLT)
