This article on 2 Peter 1:12-15 argues that it is important to make believers' aware of the consequences of an immoral lifestyle and to prepare them against it. Believers must be equipped with fresh and clear knowledge of the teachings of the apostles. In these teachings the believers possess authoritative guidance that will help them to distinguish between true and false teachers of Jesus Christ and that will lead them to sanctification. The teachings of the apostles will also teach them to call lovingly upon other people to live a life true to God and one that speaks of high moral values and self control.AfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of Pretoria2 Peter 1:12-15Moral valuesBible -- N.T. -- Peter, 2nd, I, 12-15 -- HermeneuticsCardinal virtuesChristian ethicsImmoralityPostmodernism -- Religious aspects -- ChristianityArticle
