God Is Patient

To save
2 Peter 3:10-15

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Isaiah 26-29 : PM - 2 Corinthians 7

Consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
(2 Pet. 3:15).

God desires for all people to be saved, so He continues calling. Although God is patient, we must make sharing the gospel an urgent priority. We never know what tomorrow might bring. Our devotional passage indicates the earth will be destroyed and replaced with a new heaven and a new earth. While we are waiting for these events to happen, we need to examine our lives to make sure we have responded to God's call. If we have a relationship with Christ, then we should be busy sharing the gospel with everyone. God is patiently waiting to save those who repent.

God, help me share with someone Your offer of salvation.
