2 Peter 3:14 "And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight."
Peter is talking about the last days and encouraging the believers to get themselves right before God as Jesus is returning. His return may seem delayed but God is being patient so that more people may repent and turn towards him. Peter encourages the readers to live peaceful lives and be pure and blameless.
I attended a memorial service today for a friends father who recently passed. This man was a good, honest, and hard working man who cared for and provided for his family. By all accounts he tried to live a good and peaceful life. His family and friends shared great memories of him and told of his good deeds. Will people remember me as fondly as this man? Have I lived a peaceful, pure, and blameless life? What would they say at my service? I need to remember life is short, Christ is coming back, and I need to be ready. I want to live a life worthy of heaven.
Dear Jesus, help me live a life you'd be proud to remember. Amen.
