The Day of the Lord (2 Peter 3)

16/8/2018

1 Comment

 
We are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth.
The Bible doesn't say that heaven is our final destination. It looks forward to the day when the whole creation will be made new.  This will be the Day of the Lord, the day  when our prayers for the kingdom to come are finally answered.
We are looking forward to that day. Everything we have glimpsed in Jesus will become fully real. To use Peter's words, righteousness will finally have a home.
And when will this happen? We don't know. Peter tells us that with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, so we have only waited slightly under two days so far.  It could be a long time yet. Or maybe not, because the Lord will come like a thief, and thieves tend to come when you are not expecting them.
So, in the light of this, what sort of people ought we to be? Peter says that we ought to live holy and godly lives. These are the lives he has already written about:  lives of faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and above all love. This the way we look forward to the Lord's Day. On that day everything else will melt in the heat and everything that is of God will rise into eternity.
This is our faith. Let's not fall away from our secure position.

God knows what's going to happen in our lives because He is the one who make it. I believe that we can make decisions based on God's plan. Everything was planned already before this all happened! We need to let God take over our lives in order for us to live a life that's fun of peace and love. We all desire for a happy and peaceful life, isn't it? It would be better if we will let God write own own story and make the most out of it. He knows better more than we do.
