We will review some of what Peter teaches us in his second letter.  We see that God gives us everything we need for salvation and to live in accordance with His will through faith in Christ.  Salvation is God's gift of grace to everyone who will accept it.  We are called to reach out to others with the love of God.  We may hate the actions of sinners, but we are to love them and want them to come accept the salvation of Christ.  We will not do this if we hate them.  We should live at peace in the world, because we are assured of our everlasting relationship with God.  We are changed in our nature, since we are now guided by the Holy Spirit.  Just like Peter, we must always remember the truth that salvation comes from Christ alone.  Peter witnessed the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and through faith we know this truth as well.  The life of Christ is not a myth or fable but is the truth of God.   We need to acknowledge that scripture, or the Bible, is not just for our own interpretation, but must be interpreted or understood under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  We will never be led to an interpretation that is inconsistent with the teachings of the whole word of God.  We are warned that false teachers will come, as they have throughout the history of the world.  I believe some will be very subtitle, adding little lies to the gospel, and many who were close to salvation will be led astray.   We therefore must know what the word of God, the Bible, really says.  There are many people who would lead others away from the truth of God with promises of material riches or pleasure, but they are no better than animals when they do.  Also, we can be certain of the second coming of Christ.  We are to be at work sharing the gospel until this occurs or we pass from this world.  Christ will return when God says the time is right, and we do not need to spend time speculating on when that will be.
