Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

False teachers tend to come in two major categories: those characterized by legalism or license.

The Apostle Paul addresses the legalistic type in Galatians, known as the Judaizers, who were teaching that salvation comes by rigorous obedience to the Laws of Moses, not by faith in Christ alone.

In this chapter, Peter addresses the other sort of false teachers, who teach that the grace of God in Christ frees us from the need for any moral restraints at all. Peter says that, just as false prophets arose in the Old Testament era, so now false teachers will certainly rise in our time (v. 1). They will secretly introduce destructive heresies and will cause the way of truth to be blasphemed.
