2 Peter 1:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

2 Peter 1:12. Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,-

He who exhorts others to be diligent must not himself be negligent, and Peter most appropriately writes, "Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,"-

2 Peter 1:12. Though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

We need to preach the truth continually, for even those who know it need to be reminded of it again and again. Truth unpublished is like seed laid up in a florist’s shop, it does not produce any result. We need to have the truth constantly sown in our hearts, and watered by the Holy Spirit that it may grow, and bring forth fruit.
