Time Well Spent with Cornelius F. Warren

Tonight we are in chapter 3, verses 8-9. Peter wrote this letter to churches where false teachers were scoffing at the promise of Christ’s coming again to judge the world. Their theological error stemmed from their greedy, lustful lifestyles. Although they claimed to believe in Christ, they did not submit to Him as Lord. Their evil views were snaring some who professed to be Christians. So Peter wrote to refute their errors by showing that if Jesus Christ is returning to judge the living and the dead, then you must live in respectful submission to His lordship.In verses 1-7, Peter shows how God’s day of judgment is certain in spite of the mockery of certain men. In verses 8-9, Peter gives two truths to help explain why God seems to delay the return of Christ to judge the world:Christ’s return in judgment seems delayed because God has a different perspective on time and because He patiently waits for all to come to repentance.
