He Promised!

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

2 Peter 3:13

2 Peter 3:1-13

Today — how can I “be mindful of the words which were spoken before”? (2 Peter 3:2).

If I live after my own selfish desires, how am I different from Last Days Scoffers?

Does it matter to me that “the works that are therein shall be burned up”? (2 Peter 3:10).

Given the facts of this passage, what manner of person am I (and will I be)?

“Wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13) — which of the things I do now will be unavailable to me then and there?

[The Scriptures say in 2 Peter 3:10 -- The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up]
from 2 Peter 3:10

Rejoice. Be Glad. With Exceeding Joy

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1 Peter 4:13

1 Peter 4:12-17

How do I prepare for “the fiery trial which is to try you” (1 Peter 4:12)?

And how do I rejoice in such trying times?

Must all Christians be sharing Christ’s sufferings?

Should I cultivate thinking of myself as being part of a suffering people?

What portion of my sufferings and reproaches are not for the name of Christ?

When I “suffer as a Christian” (1 Peter 4:16), for what shall I glorify God?

[The Scriptures say in 1 Peter 4:12 -- Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you]
