Hope in Christ's return . It is a blessed hope, because it will bring to an end our struggle against sin, and bring our salvation to completion, by resurrecting us in glorious bodies. By daily reflecting on the glory that awaits us in the presence of God in eternity. By expecting the return of Christ, longing for it, living every moment in anticipation of it. Come, Lord Jesus.
Hope produces holiness.
Put in simple terms, we are to live each day as if Jesus were coming back that very day, turning from sin, and turning to God. You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
