Survey of the book of 2 Peter and Jude

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The books of 2

Peter and Jude, I'm putting these two together because they are so similar in their content.

2 Peter is written by the Apostle Peter, and Jude is written by Jesus' half -brother.

And what we see in both of these is an impassionate plea for the truth against false teachers.

They're dealing with an onslaught of false teachers. Now, Jude is going to deal with the

Gnostics, those who think they have an enlightened thinking. And so much of what we see in Jude, we also see in 2

Peter. Peter goes into more detail, though. We're going to see Peter talking about some specific things that they are struggling with.

He's going to talk about the works of God. He's going to end up talking about God's divine nature,

His power, His promised proclamation. We're going to see that in Peter, just as in Jude, both are trying to warn the church against teachings that are not orthodox.

They're going to be champions of truth, pleading for people to contend for the faith.

Now, we shouldn't be surprised when we see false teaching coming up in our day and age, because if it came up in their day and age, it's going to come up with us.

There are certain characteristics that we see in both 2 Peter and in Jude that describe the false teacher.

A love for money, the love for position, things like this. These books will help us to identify false teachers that walk amongst our midst.
