Trial
Part 23: Perseverance Until Jesus Returns
2 peter 3:8-10
The second coming of Jesus Christ will bring an end to sin and sinners and establish a new heaven and new earth, although no one knows the day or the hour at which he will return. Pastor Mark Driscoll cautions us to beware of anyone who claims to know the exact time when Jesus will return and encourages us to persevere in our faith, because God is eternal, patient and sovereign.
2 Peter 3:8-10
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
