Dr. Clayton Chisum
The last two weeks, we’ve been in 2 Peter looking at how our Faith is Under Fire
- The Truth on Trial (evidence for the accuracy of the Bible)
- Counterfeit Culture (the reality of false teachers and the need for authentic biblical Christianity)
Today, we will see that false teachers had been denying a biblical promise:
Jesus is !
2 Peter 3:1-15
John 14:3
#1 says it (2 Peter 3:1-2)

- 23 of the 27 books in the New Testament talk about Jesus’ return
- In the 260 chapters of the New Testament, there are about 300 references to Jesus coming back again.
#2 mock it (2 Peter 3:3-4)
- They don’t want any consequences to their sin, so they deny the return of Christ.
- They don’t see God in the past, so they deny his intervention in the future.
#3 supports it (3:5-10)
- 1 Timothy 2:3–6; Romans 2:4
So, am I ? (2 Peter 3:14-15)
“Be ready because Christ is coming back!”
