Extended Memorization Of Scripture: 2 PeterSample

We need to realize that the apparent “slowness” of the Lord’s Second Coming serves a clear purpose in God’s eternal plan. God is patient toward his elect, waiting for them to be born, to grow up, to live apart from Christ for a while, to hear the gospel, to repent and believe, and to live salvation out before his eyes.

Patience is essential to this plan. When Peter wrote these words, most Christians (all of whom God knew by name before they came into the world) had not yet been born. The “slowness” of God has left room for you and me to be born and to come to repentance. So also God is waiting for people from every nation to hear the gospel and escape perishing by repentance and faith.
