About this sermon

Stephen Davey is teaching through the Bible with a new lesson each weekday. Watch episode 1 here: https://youtu.be/v1yx-2eg5NQ?sub_confirmation=1 ... As the end of the age draws near, Peter has some specific instructions. We are told much of what happens at the end, but Peter makes sure we know how to prepare. He exhorts Christians to have a specific mindset as the end draws near because of what that day will bring. First, we are to surrender to God’s plan for our sanctification and purification. He is in control of molding us more into the image of His son, so we need to let Him do that work in our lives. Along with that, we should also have a feeling of pity for unbelievers who do not have a relationship with Christ. We suffer temporarily during this lifetime, but will be redeemed in eternity. For unbelievers, there is total loss as the judgment of God will be their eternity. Peter makes sure that we are ready with those proper attitudes as time moves on.
