2 Peter 2:9-10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished: but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. We have far too many, nowadays, of both these sorts of sinners, and of the two sorts joined in one: “them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government.”

2 Peter 2:10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. There let us cease our reading, and turn to another holy song, in which we will praise our God, whose grace hath made us to differ from the ungodly by whom we are surrounded. This exposition consisted of readings from 2Pe_1:16-21; 2Pe_2:1-10.

2 Peter 3:1-3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up pour pure minds by way of remembrance: that ye may be mindful of the words which. were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after...

2 Peter 3:1

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: The purest minds need stirring up at times. It would be a great pity to stir up impure minds. That would only be to do mischief; but pure minds may be stirred as much as you please, and the more the better. There are hallowed memories...

2 Peter 3:2

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour : Peter believed in the inspiration of the very “words” of Scripture; he was not one of those precious “advanced thinkers” who would, if they could, tear the very soul out of the Book, and leave us...

2 Peter 3:3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, — A prophecy which has been abundantly fulfilled. You need not go far to find them; they come in the form of living men, and they swarm in the form of their books. They are to be met with almost everywhere; like the locusts, they fill the air, and hide the light of the sun:...

2 Peter 3:4

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the father fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. “Inviolable laws still govern the material creation. Men are still swift to sin. Oppressors are not overthrown; and, oftentimes, the good are left to languish in poverty and suffering. ‘Where is the...

2 Peter 3:4

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. Only the modern scoffers have tried to improve upon their predecessors, for they say, “All things have developed by evolution from the beginning, which never had a beginning, but which somehow or...

2 Peter 3:5-7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment...

2 Peter 3:7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. There will come a second interposition; we know not when, but assuredly it shall come; and if the visitation tarry, we must wait for it; for it shall come, it shall not really tarry, however...

2 Peter 3:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. There are no years to him; there are no days to the great Ancient of days. A thousand years must seem to be a mere speck in comparison with his everlasting existence,— as a dream when one awaketh, it has swiftly...

2 Peter 3:8

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. You are in a hurry; you do not understand the infinite leisure of the Eternal One. The wondrous system of divine grace seems to have hardly room and scope enough in the few years that men give to it by their...

2 Peter 3:9

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

The Lord in not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Therefore does he wait. If men ask why there is no interposition of wrath to overthrow the ungodly, the answer is, because this is part of God’s great reign of love....

2 Peter 3:9

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. So he hurries not. He gives the sinner space and time and verge enough in which to repent. Oh, that man would turn to God, moved by that gracious long-suffering of...

2 Peter 3:10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the eight; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. The next and great judgment will be by fire.

2 Peter 3:10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; — It is impossible to tell when it will come, but the day of the Lord will come, and, to the great mass of mankind, it will come as a thief in the night. Though often warned, they will not expect it. The Lord’s saints will watch for him, for they are not in ignorance that that day should...

2 Peter 3:11-12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat ? This should be the practical outcome of the anticipation...
