Promises ( Titus 1 v 2 )

Next let us consider 2 Peter 1 v 4 ,which reads that God has given the Christian precious and very great promises.  Dick Lucus writes, '' The theme of 'promise' runs throughout the Bible, Peter in writing here is contending with those who were doubting the promise of Christs coming, ( 3 v 4 ).Where is the promise of His coming?, they ask.Indeed many even Christians are asking this ,after all it is over two thousand years since Christ went to heaven.So Peter has to remind us that Gods time table is different than ours. God is not a slave of time,to help us understand this he declares,to the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.  (  3 v 8 ) He is patient giving opportunity for people to be saved.But he stresses that Christ will come  as a thief in the night, which will  bring the end of this present world. In the light of this we are to lives that are holy and godly. ( 3 v 10 - 11 )                                                                                                                                                                                                       Will you be ready?
