Book Report on 2nd Peter

Peter was not a perfect apostle, and as we well know, nor are there any perfect saints.  His righteousness and ours come from a perfect Savior.  What comes through in this epistle as Peter is facing death is his concern for the well-being of the church. He knew Christians needed to add to their faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly love. Then believers can abound and remain steadfast as he did.
