2 Peter 2:18 - 3:9
2 PeterSteve Gregg
In this passage from 2 Peter 2:18 - 3:9, Steve Gregg discusses the importance of recognizing false teachers and the consequences of falling away from the truth. He explains that as the truthfulness of God becomes more evident, untruthfulness becomes more obvious in contrast. Gregg warns the readers that those who have hardened their hearts against the truth may be demon-possessed and will fall away unless they remain unsaved. He also explores the use of proverbs to illustrate how disgusting it is for a person to go back to their old ways, comparing it to a dog returning to its vomit. Finally, he touches on the idea that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, signaling the end of the universe as they know it.
