E28: What Sort of People Ought We To Be?

Takeaways As Christians, we are waiting for the day of the Lord and the passing away of this world. We should not be surprised by mockings, sufferings, and resistance. God's people need to know what is happening now and what will happen in the future. We should be people of holy conduct and godliness, eagerly awaiting the second coming of the Lord. We can learn from the example of Noah, who was faithful and obedient to God's instructions. We should strive to be like him, living lives of faith and righteousness. Our conduct can distinguish us from the world and condemn or commend it. We should be intentional about growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord, focusing on spiritual disciplines and emptying out selfishness.
