In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus explains who is disciples are in him and what they will be like because of his work. Christ's disciples are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The question for true Christians is not necessarily what is the truth of Jesus, but what are we going to do with the truth of Jesus?
In 2 Peter 3, the Apostle doesn’t provide us with any new information to respond to, but, led by the Spirit of Truth, Peter is going to stir up our “sincere mind(s)” (3:1) by “remembering the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord,” (3:1-2) so that we may steady our thoughts and remember that what is happening is happening because God said so.
As Christians’ minds and wills are shaped by the Holy Spirit to reflect the righteousness of Christ, their lives will convey the righteousness of Christ. Unbelievers may respond to this righteous living with repentance and faith, but some may respond in anger and going out of their way to make Christians suffer.
