All grace

Here Peter gives us a promise wrapped up in prayer, a bright display of divine grace needed by besieged believers who have been exhorted to hold fast and press forward. Peter both desires and declares sovereign grace (in the God of and to whom he speaks), saving grace (the call into eternal glory by Christ), sustaining grace (through the season of suffering), and strengthening grace (to perfect, establish, strengthen and settle the saints in their time of distress).
