November 16, 2012 – Ezekiel 32 and 33, 2 Peter 1

Ezekiel 32 continues the diatribe against Egypt.

Ezekiel 33 speaks to those who are in exile in Babylon. They are called again to repent from their sins. Even if they believe they are righteous, if they commit unrighteous acts they will be declared unrighteous. If they are unrighteous, but turn away from that unrighteousness they will be forgive.

They may feel that God is not being fair to them, but they continue to sin. They are responsible for what is happening to them They are not saved simply because of their lineage, they must live in accordance with God’s law.

2 Peter 1 encourages believers to support their faith with goodness, knowledge, self-control, endurance and godliness. Without these things we forget that our sins have been forgiven.

Peter believes that his calling is to continue to remind the faithful of the message of the gospel and the importance of keeping the faith in actions as well as belief.
