Remember……what I told you.
How many times do you repeat yourself to your children? Over and over we warn, encourage and instruct our children telling them the same things often. Why? Because we all forget the things that are important, the things we need to know.
This is why in the Bible we find God doing the same thing with us. Over and over He tells us about His love for us, that His grace is available for us and that He is coming back for us. Because we forget!
He also warns us repeatedly of the dangers of sin and instructs us to watch out for the temptations that the world will continually try to trap us with and lure us away.
Some of Peter’s last words to the believers was to remind them, to bring back to their memory the important things that had been repeatedly told before. They must have been important!
2 Peter 1:12-13
For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
Let us never grow weary of being reminded of the precious truths of God.
