Peter ends the second section of his letter with the statement: “The end of all things is near.” The knowledge that the end, consummation, completion of everything is near is a great motivator. It should affect our values, ethics, and behaviour.
A woman recently told me that it was God’s will she suffer in her marriage. Today I read a verse that shows God wants women to be happy in marriage.
Jesus said that if we love him we will obey his commands. Peter says that love for others is the result of obedience. As Christians, our obedience and our love are connected.
Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
