Answer 70

A Conduct manual for church living

Answer 71

God spoke in various ways to our fathers through the prophets, but now he has spoken His final word to us in His Son...greater than any prophet: he is greater even than the angels....It was through the angels that Moses' law was communicated and its sanctions were severe enough: how much more perilous must it be to ignore the saving message brought by no angel, but by Jesus, the Son of God!

Answer 72

Persecution can either cause you to grow or grumble in the Christian life. It all depends on your response ...Growth or bitterness...In writing to Jewish believers struggling in the midst of persecution, Peter encourages them to conduct themselves courageously for...Christ. Both their conduct and their character must be above reproach. Having been born again to a living hope, they are to imitate the Holy One Who has called them. The fruit of that character will be conduct rooted in submission...to government...to masters...to husbands...to one another. Only after submission is fully understood does Peter deal with the difficult area of suffering. The Christians are not to think it 'strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you' (4:12), but are to rejoice as partakers of the suffering of Christ. That response to life is truly the climax of one's submission to God.

Answer 73

A challenge to stand against false teachers and teachings through personal spiritual growth. It is a call to battle spiritual error with spiritual truth.

Answer 74

The battle cry, call to arms, a commission to defend the Faith!

Answer 75

A. The Nature of their Struggle: Many Jewish believers, having stepped out of Judaism into Christianity, want to reverse their course in order to escape persecution by their countrymen. The writer of Hebrews exhorts them to "go on to perfection". His appeal is based on the superiority of Christ of the Judaic System. There is more to be gained in Christ than to be lost in Judaism.♦B. The Nature of their Persecution: The high priest Ananias was especially hard and unrelenting. He had all Christian Jews automatically banished from the holy places. That was tough. All their lives they had had access to these sacred places. Now they could have no part in the God-ordained services. They were now considered unclean. They could not go to the synagogue, much less the Temple: they could not offer sacrifices: they could not communicate with the priests. They could have nothing to do with their own people. They were cut off from their own society. For clinging to Jesus as the Messiah, they were banished from almost every sacred thing they had ever known. Though in God's eyes they were the only true Jews, they were considered by fellow Jews to be worse than Gentiles.

Answer 76

Peter penned this Epistle in response to the news of the growing persecution of Christians in Asia Minor

Answer 77

A. When 1 Peter was written, the Church was facing danger from without, in the form of growing persecution. While that persecution had intensified by the time of 2 Peter, his readers now faced a far more dangerous enemy, one that attacked from within.♦B. "Peter wrote this epistle in response to the spread of heretical teachings which were all the more insidious because they emerged from within the churches. These false teachers perverted the doctrine of justification and promoted a rebellious and immoral way of life."

Answer 78

He was youthful, and apparently timid and reserved individual who often suffered from poor health

Answer 79

Jude was written as a defense against an early form of libertine Gnosticism. These heretics believed they were more spiritual than ordinary believers and that they possessed a special knowledge which made them superior to "unenlightened" pastors.

Answer 80

Hebrews has been called the 5th Gospel. The Gospels describe what He did on EARTH, Hebrews describes what He is doing in HEAVEN. Hebrews describes Christ's continuing ministry after His Ascension as our High Priest.

Answer 81

Jude is the only book in all of God's Word entirely devoted to the great apostatsy which is to come upon Christendom before the Lord Jesus Christ returns. This brief message of 25 verses is the vestibule to the Revelation...Without Jude , the prophetic picture which begins with the teachings of Christ in the Gospels and continues through the epistles would be incomplete...Jude brings the teachings of the entire Bible about apostasy to a tremendous climax. He takes us back to the very dawn of human history. We are reminded of apostasy at the gate of Eden...Our thoughts are turned to princes and prophets, to saints and sinners, to eternal fire and everlasting darkness, to the sea and to the stars, to past judgments and future glory.♦Jude tells us of otherwise unknown facts about the spiritual battle over the destiny of Moses' body and the content of the pre-flood preaching of Enoch. He does so by referring to 2 non-canonical books.

the Philistines. They had a notorious reputation of being "always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies" (Titus 1:12). This testimony came from one of their own poets and prophets.

Answer 106

The Sabbath is celebrating God's finished work of Creation

Answer 107

To have rested or "ceased from his own works" in an attempt to earn or keep salvation". When we place all of our trust in Christ as the only hope of our salvation, we "rest" in the finished work of Christ and from all attempts to work our way into heaven or to earn or deserve God's favor.

Answer 115

Sin♦Bitterness♦Evil words♦Retaliation

Answer 116

Peter declares that the written Word is surer and of greater value than even his eyewitness account of the actual Transfiguration of Christ (which is definitely more certain than any modern claim of any experience, vision, or revelation).•Scripture, not experience is always to be the source of truth and inspiration for the believer.

Answer 117

She is to be obedient.•She is to win her lost husband with her life, not her lips.•She is to be pure.•She is to be beautiful within.

Answer 118

The principal here is that those under authority, such as wives or children are to win their loved ones by having respect for their authority and with their pure testimony, not with sermons, naggings, condemnations, or even tactful sharing of the Word.♦ This does not mean that they should never share the gospel, but they should not ever (always) be sharing the gospel.

Answer 119

He is to live his life with her.•He is to learn about her needs.•He is to esteem his wife of the highest possible worth, and to treat her with dignity.•He is to honor and protect her as a more precious and fragile vessel - like a piece of fine china. •He is to recognize that her needs take priority over his own. •He is to be considerate of her more sensitive feelings.•He is to value her role s his completer.•He is to love her as a spiritual equal.♦oHe is to recognize that failure to treat her properly results in unanswered prayers.

Answer 120

The Bible never contradicts itself.•The Bible elsewhere teaches baptism is not necessary for salvation.♦•The thief on the cross was saved without baptism long after some key "proof texts" of baptismal regenerationists (such as John 3:5) were spoken.•Converts in in Acts 10:43-48 were saved, filled with the Spirit an performing miracles (tongues) before their baptism. •The Bible often explains how to be saved without including baptism.•Notice in Acts 3:19 and 10:43, Peter himself, the author of the passage we are discussing, gives the plan of salvation and does not include baptism.•The proof texts of baptismal regenerationists don't hold water. Just one example of this is Mark 16:16, which says "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved", but then clearly explains which part is necessary to salvation by saying, "but he that believeth shall not be damned."

Answer 121

Salvation is by grace through faith apart from anything or any works. Baptism is by contrast a work.♦ 1 Corinthians 1:17 separates between the gospel and baptism.

Answer 122

In the Bible, as in everyday language, the word "save" can refer to the salvation of a soul, a life, or a thing. Which of these is in view can only be understood from the context.•How was Noh saved by water? Water here represented death and judgment. Noah and his family were only saved because they were in the Ark. The water without the ark meant certain death•This is the "like figure" (antitype) of how baptism "saves". The Water of baptism pictures death and the judgment of sin on the cross, but only those in the Ark (picturing Christ) are saved.

Answer 123

Baptism wash es away sin. It is not a cleansing agent. "Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh" means more than that "baptism is not a bath". Baptism does not cleanse us from sin.

Answer 124

Baptism is the public profession or pledge ("answer") that one has "a good conscience toward God", a testimony of our salvation.♦ "Answer" is a legal term referring to a pledge to obey and fulfill the terms of a contract.♦ Baptism is a public pledge to obey God and serve Him, and to break with their sinful past. Thus baptism is a pledge that a person is saved and will live accordingly.♦ It thus "saves" us from the temptation (which Peter's readers were facing) to return to their sinful past in the face of suffering.♦ Baptism "saves" from a bad conscience, not from Hell. No believer has a good conscience with God while he is in the disobedient state of refusing baptism.

Answer 125

Skeptics and liberals often claim that the miracle claims and teachings of Christianity were made up by the followers of Christ over a period of centuries after his Death. By contrast, Peter makes it clear that the entire message of the Gospel is based upon first-hand accounts and the eyewitness testimony of those who walked with Christ and saw His Glory.

Answer 126

In 2 Peter, he declared suffering is here.

Answer 127

No passage of Scripture is of the writer's own private interpretation or opinion - it is GOD'S word.•No passage of Scripture is to be of the reader's own private interpretation or opinion. It is what GOD meant, not what YOU understand or feel it to mean that is important. We are to study Scripture in order to discover what God intended to convey, not to project our feelings, opinions, or experiences into or onto it, ignoring the original intent and context.

Answer 128

No portion of God's Word was ever written simply by the writer's own will or to convey his own thoughts or opinions.•Instead of "holy men of God", the authors of Scripture were moved, carried along, and guided by the Holy Spirit concerning exactly what to write. God's hand moved their hearts, their minds, and their pens. Every word of the Bible is the perfect Word of God!
