2 Peter 1:12-21 – The Reliability of God’s Prophetic Word

In 2 Peter 1:12-21, the apostle reminds believers of the truths they have already received. He commits to refresh their memory until his departure, ensuring they stand firm in the faith. Peter emphasizes that his message is not a myth. He and other eyewitnesses saw Christ’s majesty and heard God’s voice on the sacred mountain. He calls the prophetic message completely reliable. Scripture did not originate from human will, but from prophets moved by the Holy Spirit.
