Only what's done for Christ will last.” According to 2 Peter 3, the day is coming when worldly elements will dissolve in the consuming fire of Christ’s holy presence, and our Lord will establish a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

The Lord Jesus has promised His followers that He will return. If you belong to Jesus, the thought of His coming may fill your heart with eagerness and expectation as you look forward to reconnecting with loved ones, being free from sin and pain, and most of all, meeting Jesus face to face. Perhaps it is a sobering thought, as well. There are many who still need the eternal life that can only be f...

2 Peter 3:13 says According to His promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. One day, all things will be made new. All the brokenness, injustice, wickedness, worldly systems of thought will dissipate, and Jesus will make all things right. As Christ followers, what does it look like to wait for that day? How does knowledge of that coming day transform the...

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. That is 2 Peter 3:10 and the key text for today’s message. A verse like this might seem terrifying, but it isn’t if you have been reconciled with God. It isn’t if you are clothed in...

Perhaps you have heard the expression, “Don’t be so heavenly minded, that you are of no earthly good,” but a heart set on a biblical view of God is free and burning to love and serve others with abandon, just as the Lord Jesus did. A heart fixed on God is free to take risks to benefit others and glorify Him, no longer ruled by the drive for self-protection and self-preeminence. In 2 Peter 3:4-9, t...

In 2 Peter 3:1-2, the apostle says he is writing the letter to stir up their sincere minds by way of reminder, that they should “remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior” Peter’s plea to God’s people is that they will remember. Why? God transforms human hearts through the continual encounter with the truth of His Word. Setting our hearts on what God...

It was Peter who answered, “To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life!” Decades after that moment, Peter writes his second letter to believers, warning them about the dangers of listening to false teachers, teachers leading men an...
