“Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought to be in holy conduct and godliness.” 2 Peter 3:11 (NKJV)

When God was about to destroy Sodom, He told Abraham His intention, and it affected Abraham’s life. Noah was affected when he knew what God was planning for this generation. Knowing that God is preparing judgment helps us to recognize what is eternally significant and what is not.

Peter warns us and assures us that judgment is not mere speculation but is certain. He then asks the critical question that applies to each generation. “What kind of persons ought we to be?” In other words, how should we live our lives? More than anyone else, Christians should be sensitive to the times in which we live. We should walk close to God so that we can warn those around us of the day of judgment that is sure to come. One of my past sermons was titled, “If you are going to talk the talk, then walk the walk.” Walk what you talk so that you can build God’s eternal Kingdom, and may there be an urgency to complete the tasks that God gives us.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
