The Danger of Self-Confidence
Commentators highlight that Peter's declaration, while born from love, was rooted in dangerous self-trust. Spurgeon calls it "proud self-confidence," and the Expositor's Bible Commentary notes Peter "did not know how weak he really was." This serves as a warning against trusting our own hearts and strength, urging a response of humility and dependence on God instead.
