The message of judgment and repentance has always been the call of God. Those who stubbornly refuse to heed the word will face the day of the Lord as God’s enemies and will face His wrath. Those who repent will face instead the day of salvation.
2 Peter 2:17-22
2 Peter 2:10-16
2 Peter 2:4-9
2 Peter 2:1-3
As seen repeatedly in the OT times, Peter warns us of false teachers who will arise in the church. We are warned of this danger so that we are not deceived and misled. The call of Scripture and the gospel is undeniably clear: repent, receive forgiveness of sins through Christ, be reconciled to God, and pursue God’s holiness.
