---Peter and Paul were together in jail and became good friends. They overcame their fights of early days.

---In 1 Peter 5:13 he wrote his greeting in 58 AD the same as Paul. Paul said “those in Italy”. Peter said “those in Babylon”. Brothers in affliction and persecution and death.

---In 2 Peter it is Peter’s purpose to call us to daily grace but also diligent study and dedication. One need to make one’s election and calling sure.

---The sofa of free grace tickets should not be part of the agenda of the Christian. We are to be a holy nation, a people of God’s own possession (1 Peter 2:9).

---Peter said in 2 Peter, now that you are saved do not make your salvation useless by your behavior (2 Peter 1:9). “Forgot purification from his former sins”.

---Peter said there are Alarmist and Sleepers about the nearness of the second coming (2 Peter 3:12-13).

---One should not be like the Californian style sleepers who says that Ellen White is a conditional prophet, but an Alarmist like in Matthew 25 with the lamps, keeping the faith in the closeness of the Second Coming in mind.

---Paul said the same in 1 Thessalonians 5:6.

---Peter gave a bookreview of Paul (2 Peter 3:16) and Robert Johnston from Andrews University said “it is true that Paul ought to have been more careful how he sometimes expressed himself”.

---What is Peter then saying? Looking for the Advent; Hastening the Advent; Spotless and blameless in peace.

---Experiencing this, we have seen and heard and touch and now should proclaim this message to the community for their participation.
