Beloved

This is my four hundredth post.
Peter ends his second letter calling his readers beloved. In 3:1 - 2 he says "beloved ... be mindful." In 3:8 he adds, "Beloved, be not ignorant." Then in 3:14 he says, "beloved...be diligent" and finally in 3:17 he says, "Beloved ... beware."
Peter loved his readers and wanted them to stay in the truth. Sometimes it is hard to understand and recognize all the errors that are being taught but we have an obligation to do so. We must be diligent in knowing the truth.
