The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Peter 3:10-12, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief,

in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements

will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will

be burned up.

11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort

of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because

of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements

will melt with intense heat!”

The Day of the LORD is a day of intense judgment. People today

do terrible things and often look like they’re getting away with it.

They may escape man’s judgment, but they won’t escape the judgment

of Almighty God. The LORD destroyed the Earth once in the days of

Noah, then He promised He would never again destroy the Earth

with a flood (Gen. 9:11). But in the Day of the LORD, He will destroy

the Earth with “intense heat.” Peter’s summation here concerns us.

What kind of people ought we to be? We should be holy in the conduct

of our lifestyles and vigilant toward that coming day of destruction.

And we should do our best to be witnesses of the LORD’s message,

in order that others might be saved from this devastating event.

May the LORD give you wisdom and courage is our prayer,

Nana & Dado III
