Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten delivering a message entitled, Be Diligent to Win the Lost (2 Peter 3:15-16).
         Verse 15 of our chapter ties in with verse 9. Peter explains why the Lord has delayed His appearing: He is long-suffering with us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Paul, more than any other New Testament writer, explains God’s plans and purposes. Today Israel is set aside nationally, but He is saving Jews and Gentiles and making them one in the Church. Both must be saved in Jesus Christ in one body: one lord, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians 3). The Jewish nation was God’s witness for law, but the Church is God’s witness for grace. Romans 4 and Hebrews 11 make it very clear to all of us today. Unstable people have a hard time understanding the teaching of Paul. The word “wrath” means to torture on the rack. Even in Paul’s day there were those who twisted his words. Rom. 3:8; 6:1; Gal. 3:26. Most heresies are corruptions of some fundamental doctrine. 2 Pet. 3:2. People twist the Scriptures unto their own destruction.
