Conduct grades were once standard in education. In giving these grades, teachers communicated to parents the cooperativeness of a student, or lack thereof, in the classroom setting. As Peter wrote his first epistle, he, too, spoke of such things: “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct” (1:15). In his second epistle, he returned to this idea of conduct, asking his readers if they would be found living lives of holy conduct at the Lord’s return. This study will focus on Peter’s discussion on the coming of the Lord and what it takes to make sure one is prepared to meet Him.
