2 Peter, Day 1 Readings
Recognizing Spirit-Filled, Christian Teaching
Today's reading is the beginning of the second letter of Peter, which seeks to prevent those who have become Christians from being deceived and mislead by false teaching about the faith. Rather than fancy knowledge, Christians simply need to trust that God has provided everyone what they need to know through the Holy Spirit. It is testified by the prophets and by those who knew Jesus personally (like Peter). Rather than always looking for new teaching, Christians should instead build up their own lives of faith, of which prophetic knowledge is only a part, alongside things like self-control, endurance, and love.
