A Call to Separation, Not Self-Salvation
Commentators are clear that Peter's command, "Save yourselves," is not about earning salvation from hell. Instead, it's an urgent plea to "save yourselves from this crooked generation." This means making a decisive break from the corrupt culture and religious system that rejected Christ. As Charles Spurgeon notes, it's about coming "boldly out from among the ungodly" to avoid sharing in their influence and judgment.
