Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

We should continually keep in mind that the patience of God has a specific purpose--the salvation of sinners (v. 15).

Peter mentions the letters of “our dear brother, Paul”, calling them Scripture! This is amazing, since Peter and Paul lived at the same time, but Peter recognized that the letters of Paul were as authoritative as the writings of the Old Testament. So also is Peter’s own letter! We should study all Scripture carefully, so we can be sure we are not “ignorant” and “unstable” people who twist the Scripture to suit our ends.
