We want you to meet with God and be transformed by the Word this Sunday.

In 2 Peter 3:1-10, Peter writes both about the certainty of the coming day of judgment and the profound comfort of God’s patience. That day will come, and we must not be found unprepared.

First, we must remember the source of true spiritual authority. To keep from drifting, we must anchor our minds entirely in the established words of the holy prophets and apostles. Second, Peter warns us that scoffers will come, but they will be judged. Driven by their own sinful desires, false teachers deliberately overlook God’s historical judgment and his future coming judgment. Third, we see that God is patient as he waits for repentance. Because God is infinite, what scoffers perceive as slowness is actually his purposeful mercy toward us, providing the necessary time for the appointed number to reach repentance before that final day arrives.

A time is coming when voluntary repentance will no longer be an option. But today is a time of God’s grace. If your heart has been hardened, you can find true shelter from the coming wrath by resting entirely on the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. He tasted death and took the wrath of God onto himself so that you wouldn’t have to. Today is the day to be reconciled to God.
