9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?2 Peter 3:9-12 Peter's plain and simple warning of what is coming, and that it could come any time. And that now is the time to prepare like when you lock your doors to keep out thieves. This world was not meant to last forever so we need to keep our eyes on the eternal not the temporary. Being a follower of Christ means that we are the ones who must change, because our Jesus is perfect in every detail. We need to be ready. Amen.
