Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like Christ.
This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's
purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan.

keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.
2 Peter & Jude
The early church had learned how to deal with persecution from outside the community, but
needed help defending themselves against those who would destroy their community from the
inside. Differences within the community were not uncommon -- but the church was facing those
who purposely distorted the gospel for their own gain. Peter and Jude denounce these false
teachers, encouraging their readers to stand firm in the faith, holding to the promise that Jesus
would someday return.
