“But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.” – 2 Peter 3:7
There isn’t much to say beyond what Peter says. It’s a blunt but accurate promise / warning. Fiery judgment, destruction, and the renewal of creation lies sometime in the future. Possibly very soon…
As the Advent season begins, we not only celebrate the first coming of Jesus into the world, we are invited to eagerly anticipate His second coming. When Jesus returns, He will usher in judgment. Blessing and reward await those saved from their sins by grace through faith in Him. Devastation and eternal separation from Him await everyone else. Don’t casually let anyone be “everyone else”!
Advent should certainly be joyful but also serious and urgent. This is a wonderful season to share the truth and love of Jesus Christ with others, in word and in deed, because there another advent is coming, and we don’t know when that will be. Always live prepared. Come, Lord Jesus! #FollowJesus
