The apostle Peter urges believers to grow in their faith and live a godly life. We have everything we need to do so because we have access to God’s divine nature! He emphasizes the importance of adding virtues to one’s faith, listing qualities like goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. These virtues are seen as a pathway to becoming more like Christ and living a life that pleases God.
When we forget we have been forgiven, we live a more corrupt version of life.
Peter reminds his audience that their faith is founded on eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ ministry and teachings. The chapter also addresses the reliability of Scripture, stating that prophecy is not a matter of human interpretation but comes from God, and it should be a guiding light for believers in a dark world.
