Christians, are you looking forward to spending an eternity with Jesus? Even in the absence of the signs of severe famines and wars (Matthew 24:7) here in North America, has not seeing a generation of lovers of themselves and money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient, ungrateful, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, rash, conceited and unholy people (2 Timothy 3:1-5), not convinced most of us that the Day of the Lord is at hand? Even though we look forward to the return of our Savior, one can’t help but wonder how the knowledge of this truth has made us any better than the scoffers of this world who believe God will never come good on His promise to judge this world? Upon close examination of our motivations and subsequent deeds, is not the above description of what the people will be like in the end times not act as a mirror reflecting what is truly in our souls? After all, don’t Christians spend most of their time trying to secure the carnal desires of their own hearts just like unbelievers do? In today’s sermon I am going to examine 2 Peter 3:1-13 in the hope that the Spirit might motivate you to start living every moment spotless and blameless with your eyes fixed on the return of Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2)!
