” A DAY IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS TO THE LORD, AND A THOUSAND YEARS IS LIKE A DAY. THE LORD ISN’T REALLY BEING SLOW ABOUT HIS PROMISE, AS SOME PEOPLE THINK. NO, HE IS BEING PATIENT FOR YOUR SAKE. HE DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO BE DESTROYED BUT WANTS EVERYONE TO REPENT.” 2 PETER 3:8-9
” AND REMEMBER, OUR LORD’S PATIENCE GIVES PEOPLE TIME TO BE SAVED.” 1 PETER 3:15
In the days of Noah the people did not believe that a great flood was about to come upon the earth. People thought Noah to be out of his mind but he pushed on by obeying God. And because he did, the world was wiped clean. All that remained was Noah, his family, and the animals that Noah had been instructed to bring with him in the arc. The same kind of event is happening today. Our Lord Jesus is about to return. Our God in heaven is fed up with this world and the evil that controls it. There are scoffers out there that say this will never happen. After all, Christians have been predicting the return of Jesus for hundreds of years and nothing has happened. Because of the patience of God, people are still granted the opportunity to accept him. God doesn’t want anyone to go to hell. He is giving everyone ample opportunity to come to him for salvation through Jesus. But God’s time of grace is about to end. We as Christians must continue to push forward with God’s salvation message until Jesus returns. There is a reason the end has not happened. Our great God in heaven is giving the unsaved ample opportunity to be saved. You and I are a part of that. We are tools being used by God to help others to come to Jesus. Keep pushing the salvation message. Our Lord is returning soon! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
