The assurance given here is rooted in the faithfulness of God, who fulfills His promises. The use of "will" indicates a future event that is guaranteed for believers who are diligent in their faith and practice. This assurance is consistent with the biblical theme of God's faithfulness, as seen in passages like <a href="/philippians/1-6.htm">Philippians 1:6</a>, which speaks of God completing the good work He began in believers.a lavish reception The term "lavish" suggests abundance and generosity, indicating that the reception into the kingdom is not merely an entry but a grand welcome. This reflects the biblical imagery of a heavenly banquet or celebration, as seen in the parable of the wedding feast in <a href="/matthew/22.htm">Matthew 22:1-14</a>. The concept of a lavish reception also aligns with the cultural practices of the time, where hospitality and honor were shown through extravagant feasts and celebrations.into the eternal kingdom The "eternal kingdom" refers to the everlasting reign of God, which is both a present reality and a future hope. This kingdom is characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy, as described in <a href="/romans/14-17.htm">Romans 14:17</a>. The eternal nature of the kingdom underscores its permanence and contrasts with the temporary nature of earthly kingdoms. This phrase also connects to the prophetic visions of the kingdom in <a href="/daniel/7-14.htm">Daniel 7:14</a>, where the Son of Man is given an everlasting dominion.of our Lord and Savior This dual title for Jesus emphasizes both His authority and His role in salvation. "Lord" denotes His divine sovereignty and right to rule, while "Savior" highlights His work of redemption. This combination of titles is a common New Testament theme, affirming the deity of Christ and His mission to save humanity, as seen in passages like <a href="/titus/2-13.htm">Titus 2:13</a>.Jesus Christ The name "Jesus" means "Yahweh saves," reflecting His mission to save His people from their sins (<a href="/matthew/1-21.htm">Matthew 1:21</a>). "Christ" is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew "Messiah," meaning "Anointed One." This title signifies Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Messiah, who would establish God's kingdom and bring salvation to the world. The acknowledgment of Jesus as both Lord and Christ is central to the apostolic preaching, as seen in <a href="/acts/2-36.htm">Acts 2:36</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a> The apostle Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples, is the author of this epistle.

"Supply these graces, and an entrance into the kingdom shall be abundantly supplied to you"--"abundantly," i.e., with a warm welcome, as to a son coming home in triumph; not a bare grudging admission, as to a stranger.Thus ends the first main section of the Epistle, which contains the substance of the whole. Its gentle earnestness and obvious harmony with the First Epistle have made some critics ready to admit its genuineness, who throw doubt on much of the rest. But if it stands it carries with it all the rest. Change of style is amply accounted for by change to a new and exciting subject; and the links between the parts are too strong to be severed by any such considerations. (See opening observations in the Introduction.)The first sections of the two Epistles should be carefully compared. In both we find these thoughts pervading the opening exhortation: Be earnest, be active; for (1) so much has been done for you, and (2) there is such a rich reward in store for you. (Comp. especially the conclusions of the two sections, <a href="/1_peter/1-13.htm" title="Why gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;">1Peter 1:13</a> with <a href="/context/2_peter/1-10.htm" title="Why the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:">2Peter 1:10-11</a>.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_peter/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 11. - For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly; rather, as in the Revised Version, for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance. The verb ἐπ῞ιχορηγηθήσεται looks back to ἐπιχορηγήσατε in verse 5, and "richly" to "abound" in verse 8. If we do our poor best in supplying the graces mentioned above, the entrance shall be richly supplied. St. Peter seems to imply that there will be degrees of glory hereafter proportioned to our faithfulness in the use of God's gifts here. The adverb "richly" is fitly joined with the verb ἐπιχορηγεῖν, which signifies properly to provide the expenses for a chorus. The article defines the entrance as the great object of the Christian's hope. Into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; rather, the eternal kingdom. Notice the exact correspondence of the Greek words here, τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ Σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Ξριστοῦ, with these in verse 2, τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ Σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Ξριστοῦ, as a strong argument in favour of the translation, "Our God and Saviour Jesus Christ," in that verse. <a href="/commentaries/2_peter/1-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>and γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
