2 Peter 3:8-10 (ESV)
"But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed."
There is much talk is going around about the current movie "SON OF GOD". I went to see the movie recently and have my own take on what "I THINK" should have been shown. Of course, had everything "I THINK" should have been shown actually been shown, the movie would have lasted for days!
The feeling I left the theater with was that JESUS CHRIST truly loved all of mankind. Especially when HE was hanging on Calvary's cross, HE loved. For JESUS to suffer the pain and separation from GOD THE FATHER in order to purchase my redemption is the ultimate statement of LOVE.
There is coming a day, very soon, when the patience of GOD will be complete! Scripture says there will be no warning! The earth, along with all of the works done on the earth, shall be burned up. You can build buildings, roads, monuments, even castles and cathedrals. Unless those are built under GOD's guidance and direction, they are built in vain.
The scripture above says GOD is patient. It also says GOD "is not slow to fulfill HIS promise as some count slowness". GOD will judge sin! I am so grateful that my sin has been covered by the blood that JESUS shed on the cross. I pray you too are trusting in JESUS.
