We want you to meet with God and be transformed by the Word this Sunday.

Why do we need constant reminders of truths we already know? The apostle Peter stresses the urgent need to remember the established truth of God’s Word. He understood that if we do not continually orient ourselves toward the Scriptures, we are prone to drift, wander, and tinker with the truth, exchanging divine wisdom for man-made myths.

In 2 Peter 1:12-21, Peter anchors our confidence in the reality that Scripture is not a collection of cleverly devised fables. Instead, he appeals to his own eyewitness testimony of Christ’s blinding majesty at the Transfiguration. He reminds us that the prophetic Word was not produced by the will of man, but breathed out by God through men carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Ultimately, we see how the glorified Christ of the holy mountain descended to bleed and die so that we could be reconciled and transformed. We do not read our Bibles to fulfill a moralistic daily requirement, but because in God’s word are the very words of life.
