Vs 1 The second coming of Christ is imminent, but not immediate. Vs 2 The day of the Lord is a specific period of time when God intervenes in history to judge sin and sinners. Vs 3 The world will be unprepared for the inevitable and inescapable judgment of God. Vs 4-6 God’s people will be prepared for Christ’s coming because they live in the light of God’s word. Vs 7-8 God’s people must be spiritually alert, self-disciplined and armored with faith, love and hope. Vs 9-11 Since God’s plan for Christians is salvation and not judgment, we should encourage one another to live holy lives.
