2 Peter 3:11
SINCE EVERYTHING WILL BE DESTROYED ... WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE?
It's no good holding on to the things of this world, that's for sure!
We must get our heads and hearts into gear. We must leave behind the thought processes, and the values of the present world system. We must change from that paradigm. We must stop being focused on the temporary and constantly focus on the eternal. All we can touch today will be destroyed!
O.K. make the most of it in one sense, but hold on to it very lightly and if you can't do that, let it go altogether. We need to get a fresh perspective of the awesomeness of God. "The day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. - Since (that will happen) ... what kind of people ought you to be?" "You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed it's coming."
Holy and godly. Separate - different. We should 'stand out' from the crowd, from the rest - from the world. We should not get entangled in its 'rat-race' or in its indifference to people and to God. We should watch what we watch. Guard our eyes, ears and tongues. Yes, we need to be salt and light. Yes, we need to seek to bring righteousness, truth and justice to bear on society. But, as individuals, we need to be Holy to God. Not just overt 'do-gooders' but rather men and women of God who live lives that witness to the fact that He is our Lord.
We must surely stick out from the crowd if we do! Jesus seeks a Bride "sold out" for Him - not tangled up in the world - not powerless through compromise.
He is an awesome God. It behoves us, therefore, to be holy and godly as we await His soon return.
