the lord's patience

When Peter was writing to the Christians scattered all over the Roman empire, he focused on the final and grand deliverance promised by our Lord.  He also gave some Spirit inspired wisdom about the kind of attitude Christians could have in the last days.  

2Pet. 3:14       So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.

I love how it says "since you are looking forward to this" :-) May we all rejoice iin the Lord's patience and look forward to His return with joy!  Praise God!
