"We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain."
In 2 Peter 1:18, Peter testifies once again that Jesus is the prophesied one, the true Messiah, and the only begotten Son of God who came down from heaven. He narrates his own eyewitness account, declaring how he himself heard the very voice of God identifying and confirming that Jesus was and is, in fact, His own beloved Son.
Understanding, believing, and trusting that Jesus is God and that He is our Savior are foundational to our faith. For in Him we believe to salvation. He is the One we declare with our mouths and believes in our hearts to be the all-sufficient Savior who died and rose again for our sins. As with Peter’s mission, this is the truth we will hold on to and preach to others till our last breath or until we see the return of the Victorious King, whichever God wills to come first.
