Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 1:1-21

Second Peter.Simon Peter ( 2 Peter 1:1 ),The name Simon, of course, was the given name. Peter is the name that Jesus gave to him. He is,a bondslave and an apostle ( 2 Peter 1:1 )It seems that bondslave was first, apostle second.of Jesus Christ, writing to those that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ( 2 Peter 1:1 ):So Peter identifies himself as the writer. He is writing to those who have received "like precious faith" and... read more

2 Peter 1:1-2 . Simon Peter, the Greek is Symeon, as in two other places of the Greek text. To them that have obtained like precious faith, the christians of every name. Through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Isaiah 45:8. Romans 3:20. Middleton, on the Greek article, says that this is spoken of one Person, the same as in Titus 2:13. The argument is fair, because God the Father is the fountain of deity. The like argument applies to verse the second. Grace and... read more

2 Peter 1:1-2Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.The author and his readersI. The author describes himself by--1. His name.(1)“Simon.” Commonly a happy name in the Scriptures. Not that grace is tied to names; for there was a Simon Magus, a sorcerer. Whatsoever thy name be, let thy heart be Simon’s. It is said to signify hearing or obeying; so do thou confess, profess, love thy Master.(2) “Peter” was his surname, given him by Christ Himself.2. His condition. “A servant.”(1)... read more

2 Peter 1:3-4His Divine power hath given unto us all things.The Divine liberalityI. THE FOUNTAIN.1. The hope of the petitioner. The experience of former mercy works a persuasion of future mercy.(1) Let us pray in confidence that God will hear us, because He hath heard us. A noble princess asked a courtier when he would leave begging; he answered, when she left giving.(2) Seeing that God gives more where He hath given much, let us be thankful; for how should God bless us with that we have not if... read more

2 Peter 1:5-7Giving all diligence.Christian diligenceIt is not fit that heaven should take all the pains to bring earth to it; earth must do somewhat to bring itself to heaven. God’s bountifulness is beyond our thankfulness; yet thankfulness is not enough; there is matter of labour in it. If the lord of a manor have given thee a tree, thou wilt be at the charges to cut it down and carry it home. He who works first in thy conversion hath in wisdom made thee a second. Thou seest God’s bounty; now... read more

The supreme importance of Christian fruitfulness. It was not that your leaves might idly wave in the... read more

2 Peter 1:9He that lacketh these things is blind.The miserable state of barren professorsI. Penury. It is a received maxim that God and nature have wrought nothing in vain; no part or faculty of the body can be well spared. We can spare nothing for this world; but for heaven we can quietly lack things that conduce to our eternal peace! What is the reason? A man never misses what he cares not for. A man may lack outward things yet come never the later to heaven; yea, the sooner the surer; but... read more

2 Peter 1:10-11Give diligence to make your calling and election sure.Diligence in making our calling sureI. Exhortation.1. An induction.(1) “Wherefore.” This word infers a consequence on the premises, or is a reason of the precedent speech. The apostle had formerly shown the danger of such as forget their own purging.
