The Journey Through 2 Peter
As Peter neared the end of his earthly life, he wrote a second letter to his fellow followers of Christ. His concern in 2 Peter is the rise and continuing presence of false teachers within the professing church. Indeed, this is a pressing issue even today, making Peter’s letter very timelyguidance for us. The key to dealing with error is knowledge of the truth. Knowing what the Bible teaches gives us spiritual stability and answers to challenges to our faith; knowing what the Bible records about the past and what it promises for the future gives us perspective on life and motivates us to live consistent, godly lives, even as the truth comes under constant attack. This is why Peter emphasizes in this book the need to grow and mature in Christ.
