Today’s scripture: 2 Peter 3:13-16
We are looking forward to that new heavens and a new earth. Well, I guess I
should speak only for myself, but I’m really looking forward to being with my
Lord for eternity. And as we learned on Friday, we need to be diligent about
our behavior. How will Jesus find you when He returns? Will you be “spotless
and blameless”—or as close to these as possible? Will He find you sharing His
truth or reading His word or loving others?
What can we do to be fully prepared for Christ’s return?
We need to wisely study God’s word. Pray for the Spirit’s discernment as we
read. We can’t rely on the teachings of those who are “untaught and unstable,”
for they will distort His truth. That distortion will destroy them … don’t let
it destroy you as well.
The bottom line: Know God. Know His word. Live as Christ-like as possible. Not
easy. Not simple. But well worth it. For as I wrote on Friday, don’t you want
to hear the Father say to you, with love and pride in His voice, “Well done, My
good and faithful servant”?
I know I do.
