Peter stirs up the church's sincere mind by reminding us that God's Word has always promised both judgment and renewal, even when scoffers mock Christ's return and encourage lawless living. The God who created by his word and once judged the world with water will, by that same word, bring the Day of the Lord—patiently saving his beloved, yet surely exposing all things in refining fire. Because Jesus has paid for our sins, we wait with hope, pursuing holiness now as we long for the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells.

29 Joel 2-3; 20 Proverbs 13; 2 Peter 3; 1 John 1
Chapter 3 completes Peter's 2nd letter. The first 13 verses tell of the coming day of judgment. Verses 1-5 speak of the wilful ignorance - i.e. by deliberate choice - of the coming judgments upon the wicked. The Apostle shows that despite warnings given to Noah and to those of his generation for 120 years (see also Hebrews 11verses7) those who had once been believers had chosen to abandon their faith. Though punishment seemed slow in coming it was certain. The slowness was to give time for people to repent and turn to God. Our God is not willing that any should perish (verses 8-9). Opportunity must be seized now as there will not always be opportunity. Like unsuspecting individuals those who are unready for the Lord's return will find themselves suddenly ensnared (like a thief in the night surprises those who are not prepared). Our Lord Jesus Christ describes this in Luke 21verses34-36. Paul likewise speaks of this time in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5verses1-9. The dissolution of the Mosaic order is described as the heavens and earth being dissolved. This is a common Biblical figure of speech (see Deuteronomy 32 verse 1 and Isaiah 1 verses 2 and 10). Seeing we are certain of the coming of the heavenly kingdom (Revelation 4 and 5 describe this time) Peter quotes from Isaiah 65verses17-25) that we must live righteously and in readiness for our Lord's return. So, the life and behaviour of the believer must be fashioned in conformity with our desire to be part of the kingdom of our Lord and Christ (Revelation 11verses1-9). Final words from Peter finish the letter in verses 14-18. The Apostle commends them to pay heed to the writings of Paul. The two great Apostles - Peter and Paul - stand shoulder to shoulder in their teachings and in their believing of and living the Truth. Peter's concluding words in verse 18 should be read aloud slowly and pondered.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow
2 Peter 3:1-13 will lead us to celebrate the hope that we have in the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His return should give us hopeful expectation in the midst of the difficult trials of life. It should also inspire us to live for and follow Him. As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself:"What do I feel when I think about the return of Christ?""Why should His coming be a source of hope to me?"
As we wait for the long awaited 2nd coming of our Messiah, we will run across our fair share of "haters". Join us this week as we learn how we can deal with the "haters" as we wait faithfully for Christ to return.Got a question about this teaching or a teaching from this series?

3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
In this episode of The Postscript, Pastor Andrew Lovette and Pastor Ian Thomas discuss 2 Peter 3:1-13, focusing on the theme of delay and how believers can remain faithful during periods of waiting. The conversation delves into Peter's reminders about the return of Jesus, the Day of the Lord, and the importance of remembering prophetic words and commandments. They reflect on how modern secular perspectives on time and immediacy challenge biblical waiting and highlight the call for godliness and patience amid scoffers and opposition. Tune in to explore these timeless truths and their implications for a faithful, hopeful life in anticipation of Christ's return.

What does it mean that God is not slow in keeping His promise? What is the meaning of 2 Peter 3:9?
