Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain The Second Epistle of Peter 1:18:
II Peter 1:16-21
Excerpted from: The Eyes of the Blind Shall Be OpenedThe Bible is not just a collection of fables or human ideas about God. It is God's Word given through people to people. Peter emphasizes his authority as an eyewitness along with the God-inspired authority of Scripture to prepare for his critique of the false teachers. If these evil men contradict the apostles of the Bible, their messages cannot originate from God is the point Peter is making.
Christ is the Morning Star, and when He returns, He will shine in His full glory. Until that day we have Scripture as a lamp and the Holy Spirit to illuminate Scripture for us and guide us as we seek the truth.
The Scripture does not originate from the prophet's own creativity. God inspired them, making their message authentic and trustworthy. God used each writer's talents and education and cultural background, but he worked with them in a way that ensured the message He intended was accurately communicated in their words.
