The theme of 2nd Peter is the great need for personal spiritual growth in a time when false teachers and teachings were infiltrating the early church (2Pe 1:5 with 2Pe 3:18). Key words/phrases relevant to spiritual growth are “grace and peace,” which can be “multiplied” as we grow in the “knowledge” of our Lord, and exercise due “diligence” in the practice of spiritual “love.” As a method of instruction, Peter emphasizes the necessity of reminder and repetition (2Pe 1:12-13, 2Pe 1:15, 2Pe 3:1-2).

From Series: "The Gospel According to David -- Rocky Mountain Bible Conference 2016"
The annual Basic Training Bible Ministries Rocky Mountain Bible Conference was 27-29 May 2016. In Psalm 32 David declares 'Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity.' Paul uses this quote in ROM 4:7-8 to support three great truths of the Gospel: 1) Justification is by faith in Christ alone 2) God imputes His righteousness to those who believe the gospel 3) This righteous standing before God is apart from works of any kind.
