From: GOD
THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY
SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at
one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did
not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions
of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness,
bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a
similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to
sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer
the punishment of eternal fire.
8 In the very same way, on the
strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject
authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. 9 But even the
archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of
Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord
rebuke you!” 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not
understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational
animals do—will destroy them. 11 Woe to them! They have taken the
way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been
destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. 12 These people are blemishes at
your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who
feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind;
autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13 They are
wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom
blackest darkness has been reserved forever. 14 Enoch, the seventh
from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon
thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all
of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and
of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16
These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil
desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own
advantage.
17 But, dear friends, remember what
the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you,
“In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly
desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere
natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your
most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves
in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you
to eternal life. 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23
save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with
fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. 24 To him
who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious
presence without fault and with great joy—25 to the only God our
Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
