Words To Trust

In chapter 2, Peter dealt with the false teachers and the terrible judgment they faced. His transition to speaking to the brethren is made by use of the word "beloved." Both 1 and 2 Peter are written to open-minded brethren with the purpose of reminding them of some facts they had already learned. Their minds had been purified through obedience to the truth. Particularly, Peter reminded them of truths which had been dealt with by the prophets, the Lord and his apostles. The Lord had first delivered the commandment, or whole body of truth to be obeyed, and had used the apostles to tell the world of it (2 Peter 3:1-2; John 16:13-14; Acts 1:6-8).
