2 Peter

Second Peter is the Apostle Peter's final letter, written to warn believers about the danger of false teachers who were secretly introducing destructive heresies into the church. Peter describes the immoral character and inevitable judgment of these deceitful teachers. He also strongly defends the certainty of Jesus Christ’s second coming, countering scoffers who mocked the delay of the Lord's return. Peter reminds believers that God's patience is meant to give more time for people to repent. He urges them to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, reminding them that God has provided everything necessary for a godly life, and encourages them to live lives of holiness and diligent expectation.
