Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Peter 1:11

"for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." — 2 Peter 1:11 (ASV)

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

You shall get far into the kingdom; you shall know its innermost joys. You shall get near the King, and you shall become like the King.

And when you come to die, you shall not be tugged into the harbor like a dismasted, water-logged vessel; instead, you shall go in like a full-rigged ship with all sails set. In this way, you shall have an abundant entrance into the fair haven of eternal felicity.

May God grant us this unspeakable blessedness, so that we shall not be saved, yet so as by fire, but that we shall find our heaven begun below, and go from heaven below to heaven above, hardly knowing any change at all!

There have been saints who have found the stream of Christ's love running so strongly, carrying them down to the great ocean of eternal life, that they have hardly known where the river and the ocean have met.

For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

In this life you can enjoy all the privileges of the inheritors of the kingdom of heaven; and in the life to come you shall go into the harbour of eternal peace like a ship with all her sails full, speeding before a favorable wind, and not as one that struggles into harbour — "Tempest-tossed, and half a wreck."
