Scripture 2 Peter 3: 10-18

A lot of people seem to feel that life will go on as it always does and it will never end. According to these scriptures, this is not true. One of these days everything will be burned up and the end will come. So, according to verse 11, what kind if people should we be? We ought to be holy and godly in our conversations. We need to be diligent and careful of how we live. We should be without spot and blameless. Wow!! Do you feel this is quite a tall order? Do you think anyone could possibly live like this?

I believe the answer is yes. With God’s help we can indeed live this kind of life. It is possible. I am not saying we will never make another mistake. While we live in these human bodies we will always make mistakes and have to ask God for forgiveness. But God expects us to live as good as we possibly can, with His help.

We do need to watch our conversations because people listen to how we talk when we claim to be a Christian. They expect us to talk different. What do people hear when they listen to us talk? Is it something that would attract them to Jesus? We need to live as close to God as we possibly can. It is so important that the world see Jesus in us. If they don’t see them in those that claim to be His, how are they going to see Him?




Love as good as you can
So others may all see
That Jesus is the same today
And salvation is still free
