2 Peter 3
11 Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, 12 looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. 13 But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.
14 And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.
Peter doesn’t pull any punches, does he? Here’s the deal. The earth and everything in it will be destroyed. A new heaven and new earth will take its place, and those who belong to Jesus will inhabit that new earth. Those who reject Jesus will be destroyed. Merry Christmas, everyone!
