God Is Not Slack Concerning His Promises

2 Pet. 3:1-10

A lot of Christians grow remiss concerning their souls as they age in the church. In this passage, the Bible focuses on those who scoff at the idea of Christ triumphant return and the final judgment. Such scoffing may be out of ignorance of God’s word, or it may be deliberate disdain. In either case, believers should know that the antidote to heresy is the sincere teaching and application of God’s word. The Bible made allusion to the destruction of the first world with water; so then in similar fashion, the present is reserved for fire. God is not slow in fulfilling His promises of bringing final destruction upon this present world, but He doesn’t want you and me, your family members, your friends and colleagues, and your neighbours to miss out in His eternal purpose of redeeming the whole world. The scriptures have told us that Christ’s return will be sudden; perhaps, when the world least expect Him. Now the bottom line is this, since you have all these information, what new leaf are you supposed to turn in your life in order to prepare for His return?

Point of Emphasis: The long suffering of our Lord is salvation

Prayer Point: Oh God, don’t let me fall into apostasy
