2Pe 1:12 | MHM | STEP | Spiritual Exertions. Peter explains why he works so hard as a minister. He wants to encourage Christians to keep growing in grace and holiness. Even though his readers may already know the truth and be firm in their faith, Peter reminds them again so they do not forget and so they practice what they know. He believes that people must be constantly reminded, taught, and encouraged so they stay strong in the faith and keep living for God. v. 12 : Peter says he will never be lazy in his ministry. He takes his responsibility seriously and works at all times and in every part of his job. As a spiritual “remembrancer,” he helps people remember God’s promises and commandments, even if they already know them well. Christians need these reminders to keep from forgetting important truths and to put their faith into action. Even those who are strong in faith still need to be reminded and encouraged in what is most important (Isaiah 62:6; Titus 3:8 ).
