I've been reading through 2 Timothy, 1 Peter and started 1 Corinthians (which is our church's new series for this term). This impression is with me from an overall 'survey' reading of each letter (without going into the detail yet!).
These thoughts come to mind - resolve to persevere in Christ from a discovery of the truth in Him; an underlying contentedness, assurance and peace from that same truth; acceptance of what is happening and about to happen because of the truth; and an other-centredness from God - a further resolve to bring other people to the truth of Christ.
There is an unlocking of true freedom in Paul's life and Peter's. Everything is clear now in their purpose and lives. There is an underlying calmness and strength in their letters to Christians.
Hope I'm not being too fuzzy and vague here...I guess impressions can be like that!
