 But we also see the motivation. Why should we invest the effort to grow spiritually? After all, it will not be easy. And the motivation for chapter 3 points us to this, that Jesus is coming and we're going to be judged and we need to be ready. I hope our brief study of 2 Peter has been a motivation for us to live wisely, to study carefully, and to live pleasingly before the eyes of our Heavenly Father.
