2 Peter 3:11-13

2 Peter 3:11-13 

  Do you ever ask yourself that question:  What sort of person ought you to be, given that eternity awaits you and that there will one day be a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells?  
  We often go through life on autopilot, moving through checklists of things that seem urgent (some of them are, some of them probably aren't as urgent as we make them out to be).  Sometimes we don't stop and think about things on a bigger picture -- the Gospel should help us lift our eyes from our lists and look around, to see eternity that is held before us and the community of people around us.  If we're going to live forever with God, what sort of person ought you to be?
