From Anglican Mainstream.
The second lesson today from 2 Peter helps us keep the perspective in all of this when one considers that the author of this Epistle is very clear that God promises us that we will become a partaker of the divine nature through the gift of the incarnation. That we will be an“alter christus,” that through grace we take on the mind and heart of Christ. So in these verses Peter sets out to tell us how to live the Christian life being very clear that there are some serious demands about the call of discipleship.
