Growing Toward Christian Maturity
(Prayer Walk thro 2 Pet 1-3)
While Peter’s audience is the same
as in his first letter, his theme and
purpose are different. Persecution
from unbelievers can be hard
for Christians to bear (1 Peter),
but defection within the community
of believers can be even more

act the effects of this “poison”,
Peter reminds his readers of the
timeless truths of the faith and
exhorts them to continue growing
toward Christian maturity.
Father, apostle Peter exhorts us
to be diligent in Christian growth.
In this regard, help us O Lord,
to keep on knowing more of You,

that You Enable Godly Living;
that You Rescue & Free us; and
that You are Long-Suffering. Amen.
