Peter writes to warn & guide the saints
Of false teachers, liars, & their taints
He urges them to grow in grace
To know God’s truth, to run the race
“Remember the prophets, holy & true
Who spoke of Christ long before you knew
And understand the Lord’s great might
Who saved us from the darkness, into light”
He warns that scoffers will come at last
Denying the promise, clinging to past
But God’s patience waits, not slow but sure
He gives all time for hearts to mature
Grow in faith, virtue, knowledge & love
Self-control, perseverance, a heart above
Godliness, brotherly affection, care
For those who practice these shall share
Beware the corrupt who twist the way
For greed & pride will lead astray
False words like clouds without rain
Empty promises, worthless gain
Peter reminds of the day of the Lord
When heavens & earth shall hear His word
Fire shall come, destroying the wrong
But His faithful will endure strong
He calls to remember all that he taught
To anchor hearts in the truths he brought
The scriptures, living & inspired,
Guide all believers, never tired
He closes with a plea for watchful eyes
To grow in mercy, shun all lies
To strengthen hearts & lives in Christ
To stand unwavering, pure & precise
May grace & peace abound in all you do
Keep faith, be diligent, loving & true
Prepare for His coming, shining & bright
And live each day in God’s holy light
