Christianity is not a new religion. In fact, it's not 2,000 years old. The truth is that Christianity is as old as the world itself. It has been the only true faith since the creation of the world. It has had different names, but Christianity's core principles have never changed since its inception, recorded in Genesis 3. Faith in God to provide a Messiah who would bring about salvation for sinners in a lost and fallen world.
The apostle Peter understood this reality and wrote about it to the church in his letters. The prophets had faith in the Messiah, though He was not yet revealed. Their faith drove them to seek the Scriptures diligently, even their own prophetic writings so that they would have a firm understanding of who the Messiah would be and when He would appear.
Peter was showing the new believers under his care, and us today, that faith in the Messiah is the basis for salvation. The Old Testament saints looked back at the promises with faith and forward to the Messiah with hope - just as we look back at the cross of Jesus with faith and forward to His return with hope!
