2 Peter 1:12 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘For which reason I will be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and are established in the truth which is with you.'

‘For which reason.' Because of His glory and excellence (2 Peter 1:3), and because He has granted us those great and precious promises which have resulted in our partaking of the divine nature, and because of our calling and election, Peter declares that he is always ready to put them in remembrance of these things.

And that although he knows that they know them, and that they are established in the truth which is with them. For he realises that there is nothing more important than that they should continually be reminded of these things and have these things in mind.

It is a reminder to us how we too must ensure that we constantly come under the ministry of the word of God, and continually resort to the Scriptures, that we may grow in the knowledge of the truth. It is a reminder to those who minister that they must constantly minister eternal truths.

2 Peter 1:12

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
