The epistle to the Hebrews eloquently expounds on the supremacy of Christ and the superiority of the new covenant, exhorting believers to hold fast to their faith and persevere in the face of suffering. James, the brother of Jesus, emphasizes the practical outworking of faith through good works, wisdom, and the taming of the tongue. In 1 Peter, the apostle encourages believers facing persecution, reminding them of their living hope in Christ and their calling to holy living. 2 Peter warns against false teachers and emphasizes the reliability of Scripture, while also looking forward to the promise of Christ's return. The three epistles of John address issues of love, obedience, and discerning truth from error, urging believers to walk in the light and remain steadfast in the teachings of Christ. Jude, the final General Epistle, exhorts the church to contend for the faith and reject those who pervert the grace of God.
