Peter encourages his readers to continue in the faith, by showing the great treasure that New Testament believers have. It is probable that some of his readers were accosted with the charge that they had left the Scriptures and its teaching. Didn't the Jews have the Hebrew Scriptures and the prophets? Wasn't the Mosaic Covenant mediated to Moses through angels? How could they leave such a heritage? But Peter shows that New Testament believers have the fulfillment of all that the prophets wrote. We know what those OT prophets tried so hard to know — who Messiah is, and the details of His work. Furthermore, we have a salvation that the angels cannot understand. So, we today must hold the New Testament as dear — the clear light of God's truth, plainly taught and passed down to us.
