How does the Church deal with apostasy and heresy? Pastor Peter tells believers how to identify false teachers by their immoral character and wrong beliefs, and what to do to remain steadfast in the faith. Peter also makes important statements about the inspiration of Scripture, the return of Jesus Christ, and the inevitability of God's judgments. However, the heart of the epistle is Peter's many exhortations, principles, and precepts to guide the Christian to holy and righteous living.
