The Life-study of 1 & 2 Peter opens up the Epistles of Peter to us. The subject of 1 Peter is the Christian life under the government of God and the subject of 2 Peter is the divine provision and the divine government. In his second Epistle, Peter shows us that God is not only governing us, ruling us, but also providing us with whatever we need. God supplies us all things to live a holy life, a Christian life, under His government.
