Today's sermon explored 2 Peter 3:10-18, focusing on the question "What sort of people ought we to be?" Pastor Tim emphasized that as believers, we should be maturing in Christ, becoming who we were made to be. The sermon highlighted the temporary nature of our current world and the promise of a new heaven and earth where righteousness dwells. This perspective should shape our priorities and behavior as we anticipate Christ's return.
Takeaways:
- We are called to live lives of holiness and godliness, measuring ourselves against Christ rather than others.
- Our hope lies in the blood of Jesus, which cleanses us from all sin, making us without spot or blemish before God.
- We should be growing in grace and knowledge of Christ, living for His glory and sharing His message with others.
As we go through this week, let's reflect on how we can embody these truths in our daily lives. Are we actively growing in Christ? Are we living with an eternal perspective? How can we share the hope we have in Jesus with those around us?
