John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

Flesh breeds torpor, so even those who know the faith need the goad of admonition, lest security weaken what they have learned and quench it altogether. Peter knew his time was short, and so he labored the harder; we too, whether we foresee our end or not, ought to quicken ourselves to diligent service while we remain.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Ministers must be remembrancers: they put God's people in mind of His precepts and doctrines so they will do them. You may know the truth and be established in it, yet you need to be reminded, lest you forget and fail to act. A sluggish pastor makes a sluggish flock.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

It is my duty as an apostle and minister to stir you up by reminding you of these things. Saints are naturally forgetful and backward to their duty, sluggish in the exercise of grace; so I must kindle what would otherwise go cold.
