Who Should Tell You How?
Is there someone who can tell you how to live
the Christian life? A person with experience? A person with knowledge?
A person with sympathy? A person sent from God?
A person of few words? If so, then Peter is the kind of advisor and
teacher you’re looking for. In so many ways he had seen and done it
all as a Christian.
Peter was one of Christ’s original twelve.Peter was a member of the
“inner circle.” Peter had known the thrill of success.Peter had known
the agony of defeat. Peter had walked on water. Peter had seen the
power of Christ.Peter had seen the coming of the Spirit.Peter had
performed miracles.Peter had led many to faith in Christ.
When Peter was about to die for his faith (2 Pet. 1:14), he wrote
and circulated a letter that tells us what he had learned about living
the Christian life. In just a few words, this veteran disciple, soldier,
and friend of Christ (1) described God’s part, (2) told us our part,
including seven steps to spiritual maturity, and (3) promised success
to all who would follow the plan.
Let’s look at Peter’s plan for spiritual growth.
