Peter says that the Lord is “patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” He also says, “regard the patience of our Lord as salvation.” God was testing their faith and perseverance.
Peter emphasizes the superiority of the second covenant over the first: “spiritual house,” “holy priesthood,” “spiritual sacrifice,” being born of imperishable seed rather than perishable, the flesh passing away with the word of the Lord enduring, and other flesh and spirit contrasts.
Peter comforts the churches with the promise of the “inheritance,” and this inheritance, as it turns out, belongs to the son of the free woman and not to Hagar’s seed, who is cast out.
