Faith not fear

“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He… wants everyone to repent.” – 2 Peter 3: 9

A DEAR friend once wrote that the “world is sliding into a moral abyss… it is in a worse state than in the days of Noah” – and we all know what God did then. I agree to an extent - but if ever in history there was a time to repent, it is now. As we do that, let’s also take heart from the scripture above. People have been seeing the end times coming for donkeys of years, but the Lord is being patient... “for YOUR sake”. Take courage; He wants to save us, and for us to build our lives on a firm foundation by making Christ our bedrock and by affirming our faith that He will help us overcome the sins, moral depravity, strife, and wars, that precede His day of judgement. Remember, 1 John 5: 4, “For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.”  He wants us to repent and obey Him.
