2 Peter 1

Peter writes to those with the same faith as his - to remind them of the preciousness of that faith. It is a growing faith, a sustaining faith, a faith that will endure until life ends - as Peter is sure that his is about to. He reminds his readers that the Gospel was not a cleverly crafted deception, but a careful recounting of the Good News that Jesus from Nazareth has proved by His life, death and resurrection that He Himself is the God-promised Messiah.
