Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 2:4-9 (day six)
Faithfulness doesn’t always look exciting. Sometimes it looks like simply staying put, holding fast to what’s true when the world is chasing what’s next.
Peter knew that false teachers, who doubted Jesus’ return and future judgment, were promising something new, something more appealing than the message of the gospel. But the truth about Jesus doesn’t need to evolve or be improved. It’s not a trend to update; it’s a reality to live into.
Peter reminds these young, fragile churches that faith isn’t about chasing new ideas; it’s about clinging to what is real. “The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,” he says (2 Peter 2:9). God has not changed. His truth has not shifted. And His promises remain secure.
In a world obsessed with progress and novelty, maybe one of the most radical things we can do is to stay put – to remain rooted in the truth that Jesus is Lord, the gospel is enough, and God’s Word still leads us home.
