"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."
As I pondered on this chapter I could see how merciful the Lord is. He is giving man all the time possible for us to repent before he "will come as a thief in the night" (2 Peter: 3:10). So this message I would say if for the unprepared. What about those that are preparing for his come? Verse 18 tells me I need to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord. So none can afford not to prepare for the day of His Second Coming. We cannot just say we are saved and leave it at that. Preparation is continual, as well as his mercy extended towards us to repent, until final judgment comes.
Day 1732
