Sermon: The Day of the Lord

An exegesis of 2 Peter 3:1-11 reveals an attempt by the Apostle Peter to remind Christians of God’s promise regarding the second coming of the Christ. The fact that time had passed did not lessen the surety of the promise, which would signify the salvation of God’s people, and the end of the physical universe. Such an eventuality teaches us to live lives of righteousness in preparation of His coming.
