LOVE ME LIKE A ROCK
It is believed
That the second letter of Peter
Was written not long before his death
Peter---in his second letter
Addresses another major threat
To the church---false teachings
From within the church
Then as now
There were and are
Many false teachings
I want to encourage believers
To study the Word of God
On your own
So that
You can mature
In the true truth of God
“You are the ROCK
The one upon I will build my church”
Matthew 16:18
Peter encourages us
In his second letter
To grow in Christ
By reading the Word of God
And obtaining proper knowledge of the Gospel
Peter encourages us
To develop a personal
relationship
With Christ
And that if we do this
God’s righteousness will prevail
Peter teaches us
That deceit comes in many forms
But truth only in one
The truth of God
Peter teaches us
That maturity in God will come
As we develop a personal relationship with him
Peter preached in Rome
after Christ’s crucifixion
and was crucified upside down there
Because he did not feel worthy
To be crucified in the same manner as Christ
For his love of Christ
And his love of the church we
owe Peter
Much thanks---and we continue
To love you
LIKE THE ROCK
That you were for Christ
And he ROCK that you continue to
be
For the church today
