Wickedness does not go unnoticed by the holy God. He will judge all who steer others away from the pathway of life. Peter warns us, lest we be led astray and participate in the evil deeds of darkness.

God judges sin and He preserves His redeem safe from the wrath to come.

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.

Peter’s message of repentance and sanctification come with the authority of God because it is confirmed by an eyewitness testimony and, more importantly, because it aligns with Scripture.
