"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells"
(2 Peter 3:9).
Over 2000 years ago, the Apostle Peter told us that in the last days there would be unbelievers who would pursue after the own sinful desires and mock Christians, saying, "Where is your God? How long are you going to wait for the fulfillment of this ridiculous promise?" My friends, that same promise that brought you and I to the throne of grace is still being offered to even those who mock Him. But this age of grace will come to an end someday, and after that will come the judgment. Let us continue to share the love of Christ while the offer of salvation stands, because we do not wish for anyone to face eternity without God.
