Living faithfully

the long version

One cannot read far into the Second Epistle of Peter without sensing the theme of "Living Faithfully." Doubtless Peter had never forgotten his extreme failure to live faithfully at the time of his outspoken denial of Christ years before. As a warning to other believers, to help prevent them from falling into the same satanic trap, he writes this brief Epistle. He passionately admonishes all true Christians to beware of false teachers and apostasy and steadfastly to follow the Lord in a life of holiness and obedience. - Introduction.
