Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

2 Peter 3:8-18
Do not forget this, "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day". The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to repentance.
The day of the Lord will come like a thief. The elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. As you wait eagerly for the day of God to come.
Since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation.
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Why?
If God's delays it is out of mercy, not weakness.
There is no difference of opinion between Peter and our dear brother Paul: both speak of these matters in the same way.
Of cause, says Peter, we all find some of Paul's teaching a bit hard to understand.
The certainty that Jesus will come, that it could happen any day, is the strongest possible incentive to Christian living. The writer's closing instruction is to be ready:'Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
Be ready to grow in the grace: God's mercy and honor and his power
grow in knowledge of our God and Jesus Christ: Really know him.
All of these need make every effort to do.
How?
Be prepare, get ready that the Lord may come tomorrow, do I have made every effort for his coming?
