A simple reminder...

"Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless."--2 Peter 3:14. Peter's second letter written to remind them of what was spoken of by the prophets and the apostles as we see in 2 Peter 3:2.  He reminds them of what will come in the last days and what will happen to heaven and earth.  He then tells the Christians what they should do.  He tells us what we should do in response to impending events.  Peter does this by way of a simple reminder.

A simple reminder.  2 Peter 3:14 begins with the word therefore so we must ask what's it there for?  Therefore means since you know God is coming back, be ready.  We need to be found in peace, spotless, and blameless.

A simple reminder.  We need to be found in peace.  Are you at peace with God right now? Are you at peace with your brother/sister in Christ? If not, make peace by being reconciled to God through Christ and obedience to His gospel and/or by turning from the sin in our lives.  We need to make peace with our brother/sister by resolving our differences with them.

A simple reminder.  We need to be found spotless.  Don't allow the sin in your life to taint your relationship with God, remove that sin in your life, whatever it might be.

A simple reminder.  We need to be found blameless.  Does this mean sinless? Not really. This means to be found in a position where we have overcome our struggle with sin, not by our own merit but by the grace of God and our desire to do His will.

A simple reminder.  May we be reminded that Christ will come for you and for me one day to gather us up into heaven, how will He find us when He comes? Be diligent to remove what it is that will prevent you from meeting any one of these three, make peace with God or with your brother/sister as described above, to get rid of sin maybe get rid of the internet or your cable so sin does not enter into your home.  We have the power to overcome sin that we might be found blameless by the grace of God.

This is just a simple reminder. LOVE Y'ALL! GOD BLESS! THANKS FOR READING!
