Peter addresses the presence of false teachers and prophets within the Christian community. They offer a false idea of freedom that actually is destructive. They lead others astray with their false teachings and immoral lifestyles.
Peter gives examples from the Old Testament of God’s judgment on those who engage in sinful behavior, emphasizing that God knows how to rescue the godly and to punish the wicked. Peter underscores the idea that God is watchful and that those who engage in evil deeds will ultimately face consequences.
This chapter highlights the importance of discernment and being cautious about who we follow and listen to in matters of faith.
