Second Peter 3:9–13 proclaims the coming day of judgment and the renewal of all things in a new heaven and earth, calling us to live godly lives as we await the new creation where righteousness dwells. In this message, Dr. Derek Thomas looks at some of the basics of eschatology, such as the doctrine of glorification, the beatific vision, and the coming new heaven and earth. Dr. Thomas also explores how knowing the goal of creation helps us to persevere and stand firm now.

    I need to confess I've been very discouraged. But who am I? Thank God for His long-suffering or none of us would be here. Thank you for this.

    I completely agree with Pastor Thomas, if we truly believe in Jesus, the sadness of death is greatly different if we know that person is saved. I have a hard time being terribly sad when a Believer dies because I am overjoyed for them. And I'm deeply troubled every time a non-Believer dies because I know they are lost forever. Eternally lost in sin is the most dreadful thing imaginable. Thank you for such an encouraging message for our times. Maranatha!

    Praise God He is patient, and He waited for me. He will bring His plan to completion as he draws His elect to Him. Some may not have been borne yet? And the Sin of this world may not have reached fulfilment. Even so Come Lord Jesus !

    What a wonderful message. My favorite part…. what a wonderful thing it is to be a Christian. That’s how I’ve felt for a long time ❣️❣️❣️

    While we , the saved are in heaven, we will witness how God created the first world, showing us that our belief of Him creator was good and true. This amazing priviledge will be marvelous and will make us prostrate ourselves at His feet, praising His Holy goodness an, power and glorious righteousness.🙏📖✝️❤️❤️❤️

    David Martyn Lloyd Jones said. I can forgive a preacher almost anything if he makes me hungry for God. Derek Thomas does this for me

    Yes, true Christians generally are the best citizens. How sad it is when somebody who claims to be a Christian is actually up to no good, and people become disillusioned about God. A terrible thing. Lord, clean all of us up, and let us be truly faithful, not in our strength, but in Yours
