2 Peter 1-3
Jude
These two letters so closely parallel one another, one might be lead to believe they were both written by the same person. At the very least, one author had read the other's letter before writing his. All of which is immaterial, given that both are included in the canon containing the inspired word of God. What is important is our growth in understanding the Bible. 2 Peter ends with this injunction: "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." Unfortunately, many Christians seldom read scripture, and are, therefore, ignorant of much of the truth revealed. They depend wholly on others, receiving interpretation that is open to error. Thus, some are misled and project a false impression of our Lord. We need to be actively engaged in the reading, study, and meditation over the Word. May it never be said that any of us are at the same place we were when we received the salvation of our souls!
