Concerning his promise | 2 Peter 3 | Modern

In the Second Epistle of Peter 3:1–9, the apostle Peter reminds believers of the importance of remembering the words spoken beforehand by the prophets and the commandments of the Lord delivered through the apostles. He warns that in the last days scoffers will come, questioning the promise of the return of Jesus Christ and deliberately overlooking God’s works in creation and past judgment. This passage emphasizes that God’s timing is not like man’s: what appears to be delay is actually an expression of His patience, as He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Thus, this text calls believers to vigilance, faith, and trust in God’s faithfulness as they await the fulfillment of His promises.
