     | 97 views

    The opening of Peter’s second letter introduces grace and peace. Here we explore both those and their operation in a Christian’s life. And it is multiplied! Materialism destroys peace. The deeper the forgiveness, the greater is the appreciation of the grace of God. God’s peace is contentment.
