Sunday, December 5, 2010 - 2 Peter 3:10-12

[Tek7]

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that [day] the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, [it is clear] what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be on fire and be dissolved, and the elements will melt with the heat.

2 Peter 3:10-12, HCSB

In this passage, Peter speaks of a future day of cataclsym, but his focus is on how we should live. Regardless whether we live a hundred more years or only one day more, the way we should live our lives remains the same: "in holy conduct and godliness as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God."

 

[Abba San]

Amen. I like the way the HCSB puts it, too. Thanks.
