2 Peter 1:12-21 - Salvation Based On The Word Of God
12 Therefore, I will always remind you of these things, although you know them and are firmly grounded in the truth that you already have. 13 Yet I think it right, as long as I live in this bodily tent, to arouse you by a reminder, 14 because I know that the removal of my bodily tent is to be very soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. 15 Yes, I will be in earnest, so that every time you have occasion, after I have gone away, you may call these things to mind.
16 For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight,"
18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one's own mind, 21 for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man's will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
