The letter ends, but ministry is not over. The work must go on. The battle for the truth sure does. Persecution and suffering inevitably will.

The last 4 verses of the last chapter of the 2nd letter Peter has written deal with what amount to his Ongoing Concerns for his audience and God's work among them. These are things that require constant attention. Personally, we must remain vigilant in these areas. As a matter of vision, the church as a whole must remain committed to these outcomes.
