In his first letter, the Apostle Peter feeds Christ’s sheep by instructing them how to deal with persecution from outside the church. With his second letter, Peter's purpose was threefold: (1) to stimulate Christian growth, (2) to combat false teaching, and (3) to encourage watchfulness in view of the Lord’s certain return.
