The End Draws Nigh

2 Peter 3:11-18 | Andrew Murch | We’ve reached the end of the Apostle Peter’s final writing before his death. In these pages, we’ve been met with warnings against false teachers, immoral teachers, and distorted theology. We’ve seen Peter’s reminder to follow the truth of Christ and to commit to godly, Christ-like living. To put the finishing touches on his final letter, Peter calls his readers to be diligent, to be without spot or blemish, and to be at peace. He again highlights God’s patience, using the Apostle Paul’s letters as a witness to this.It’s interesting that even in his closing statements, Peter is still telling of false teachers, and warning his readers to not get “carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability” (v. 17). As we finish this study, may we, as the last verse of 2 Peter says, “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” “To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” (v. 18).
