Back to the Basics

by Alistair Begg

2 Peter 1:1–21
 (ID: 2223)

Through His Word, God provides believers with the essential truths we need for the beginning, continuation, and completion of our salvation. In the hope of discovering new ideas, however, we often forget the fundamentals. Alistair Begg warns pastors to remind themselves and those under their care that God Himself is the only source of truth. God’s people should never tire of hearing about the precious promises He has made.
