Peter writes about benchmarks of spiritual growth.
Peter come out of the gate on mission speaking to equals (v.1) and hints that his days in this world are numbered (v.14-15).
God loves perfectly.
We do not love perfectly, thus the instruction of verses 5-9.
Don’t forget what Jesus has done on my account. Allow Christ to conform character to be more like his.
There is a path for spiritual growth. People progress at different rates but the path is there nonetheless.
Father, thank you for being patient with me as you grow me to be more like Christ.
