Deuteronomy 16:1-22; Song of Solomon 6:10-8:14; Luke 11:1-13
Since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness. 2 Peter 3:11 NKJV
This chapter is the tale of three worlds: the past, prior to the flood; the present age, and the prospect of a new heaven and earth. In light of the ultimate “dissolving” of this world, Peter introduces two practical applications with the word “therefore”. If we really believe what Peter is saying, it will impact our perspective and priorities. This will affect our conduct, our character, and our continuing growth and steadfastness. —Gary McBride
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand. —R. Miller
