As we wait for the day of Christ’s return, we should pursue holiness, count the patience of the Lord as salvation, be on guard against false teachers, and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.
Scoffers will scorn the idea of Jesus’ return, but he promises to come back at the right time with fiery judgment. Meanwhile, those who believe in the salvation of Christ await a new heavens and new earth.
False teaching is hazardous to your spiritual health. Peter cautions us that false teachers emerge from within the church, peddle spiritual novelty, and deal deceitfully.
God himself wrote Scripture, interpreted it, and confirmed it. Therefore, we should pay confident attention to what it says, what it means, and what it requires.
