2 Peter 3:8-11 MSG Don’t overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. God isn’t late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn’t want anyone lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change.
But when the Day of God’s Judgment does come, it will be unannounced, like a thief. The sky will collapse with a thunderous bang, everything disintegrating in a raging inferno, earth and all its works exposed to the scrutiny of Judgment. Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow, do you see how essential it is to live a holy life?
Wow! God is waiting for you and me to change. He doesn't want anyone to miss out on the life He gives forever. And then He will wait for you and me to lead others to Him.
Knowing what we know, why would we do any less? "Do you see how essential it is to live a holy life?"
