Living on Borrowed Time.

Today Pastor Michael is starting a new series on the end times.  Today Michael is examining how Peter, in writing a letter to believers that are suffering, asks what kind of people should we be in view of the events of the end times?  

(ESV Study Bible Notes) The people of God ought to live in holiness and godliness, to avoid the punishment coming to the ungodly and to devote themselves to things that will last beyond the judgment.

(Disciple's Study Bible Notes) Purity—What kind of persons ought people to be in view of the events of the end time? The answer is holy and godly, spotless and blameless, guarded and growing. Since God is holy, to be godly is to be holy. To be holy is to be distinct from the ordinary and worldly. Moral blamelessness must be maintained. The influence of error and evil demands persons who are on guard. The prospect of meeting the Lord encourages growth in grace and knowledge of Christ. The sincere expectation of the Lord’s coming promotes personal purity.

Today’s bible verses are found in 2 Peter 3: 9-13.
