Text: 2 Peter 3:1-6
Even though we don’t know the day and the hour of Jesus’ return, we are given signs. There are people who will mock the coming of Christ and live the way they want, and they are influential. . .being used by the enemy to try to turn us from the Truth. They are trying to destroy our faith. We need to stand fast on our beliefs. God wants us to understand His Truth. . .the Bible! We may be asking, “When are You coming?” Jesus answers, by saying, “Watch! I am coming! Be watchful!” God is the only One who knows! But, He does tell us it will be like in the days of Noah. God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth. And, He said, “I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth.” His heart was broken and he regretted creating this. All rebellion is against God. God is telling us that we are living in the days of Noah. We need to open our eyes and watch and believe that Jesus is coming! Are we ready? He is coming for a clean, spotless bride. That’s why we have to keep ourselves clean and ready. When we lose the focus, fire, and desire to stay holy and righteous before the Lord, we will lose out! The devil is not playing games. We are not promised tomorrow. Let’s keep watch! Let’s be ready!
