2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
The Lord is long suffering towards us and that is good. He could have taken my life long ago, but he gives us time to repent. To turn away from idols and sin and to turn to God in humility. The Day of the Lord will come fast and all will be burned up. God can burn it up and make it new and better again.
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Jesus will return to rule and to reign for a thousand years and then a new dwelling place will come prepared for us in Christ Jesus. The Lord is long suffering and will give us a second chance here and now, but after this life there is no other chance to be saved.
2Co 6:2 God says, "I heard you at the right time, and I gave you help on the day of salvation." I tell you that the "right time" is now. The "day of salvation" is now.
Jesus gave his life to bring us forgiveness and eternal life. We can come to him and he saves us. Thank you Jesus and may many come to you for forgiveness and a more abundant life.
