2 Peter 1:12-15

Paying attention to Scripture

12 I plan to keep on reminding you of these things — even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth. 13 Yes, I believe I should keep on reminding you of these things as long as I live. 14 But the Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that my days here on earth are numbered and I am soon to die.   15 So I will work hard to make these things clear to you. I want you to remember them long after I am gone. (NLT)

 

It is always good to go back to the basics from time to time. Peter near the end of his life wanted to remind them as well as us that we need to continue to work hard for the Lord Jesus Christ to His praise and glory. We need to have moral excellence, self-control, patience, godliness and love within our lives. We need to continue improving these skills so that they become second nature to us. Peter calls us to remember these things so that we can continue to grow in Christ. Never give up and never give in to the world but continue in your walk with Jesus so that these things can be seen in you.
