PARTICIPATE IN THE DIVINE NATURE Our participation in God’s very nature is another description of the new birth (being spiritually “born again,” John 3:3) by which we receive God’s life and spiritual salvation. We have the privilege of sharing in God’s nature, so we can fulfill the responsibility of conforming to His character and standard of holiness (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:24).

2 Peter 1:20-21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Men Spoke from God - By the Holy Spirit
What Peter affirms here about the God-given origin and authority of the prophecy recorded in Scripture is true about all things in His written Word: “men spoke [and wrote] form God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” Believers must maintain a strong uncompromising view of Holy Scripture as inspired (given directly by God through Holy Spirit-let people of His choosing) and authoritative (completely reliable, backed by solid evidence and established authority). There are several reasons for this.
- It is the only way to be loyal and true to what Jesus Christ, the apostles (those He personally authorized to deliver His original message) and the Bible itself teach about Scripture (Psalms 119; John 5:47).
- It provides for the church a true and sure foundation for its faith, certainty of salvation and moral absolutes (standards, that are true and relevant for all people in all situations for all time) as measures and directives for living and for its future hope. Without the inspired Word of God, there would be no message to preach without doubt, no sure expectancy for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the working of miracles and no hope for Christ’s soon and certain return.
- It provides Bible-believing Christians with absolutes and objective truth (based on something outside of themselves) by which to judge and reject this world’s everchanging values, human philosophies, and ungodly practices (Psalms 119:160).
- It is the foundation on which Christians will be ready to endure the extreme difficulties and deception of the last days (1 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:1).
- It is the basis by which people will recognize the full authority and teaching of the Bible. Without this view of Scripture, their faith will be weak, and the Bible will be replaced by subjective religious experience (always changing, based on the person or situation) or by independent, critical, and faulty human reasoning (2 Peter 2:1-3).

2 Peter 3:12 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.
Speed Its Coming
There is suggestion here that the church can actually help shorten the time before Christ’s return by
- Committing themselves to spreading His message throughout the whole world (2 Peter 3:9; Matthew 24:14)
- Eagerly showing our desire for His return by praying, “Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20; Matthew 6:10).

2 Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
HOLY AND GODLY LIVES
The temporary nature of the material universe should make a significant difference in our values, priorities, and outlook on life. God will soon destroy the world and judge those who did not accept Him, so we must not become attached to this world’s system or things within it. Instead, we must determine to live with holiness, which means moral purity, personal integrity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil, dedication to God and devotion to His purposes. Our values, goals and purposes in life must be centered on God and the hope of a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13).

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
THE DAY OF THE LORD
“The day of the Lord” typically refers to the broad period of time beginning with Christ’s sudden return to take the faithful people to His churches to be with Him in heaven (Matthew 24:42, 44); and “the day” ends with the destruction of the present heaven and earth and the creation of the new heaven and the new earth (Revelation 21-22; Joel 1:14; Zephaniah 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). However, in this particular passage, “the day of the Lord” is referring more specifically to the latter end of that period. That is, it refers to the end of history and time as we know it – when the present heaven and earth (the material universe) are destroyed by God’s fiery judgment and are replaced by the creation of the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21-22; Joel 1:14; Zephaniah 1:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). Keep in mind that this passage uses apocalyptic language (describing end-time destruction) similar to the language found in the Old Testament book of Daniel and the New Testament book of Revelation. This means that literal events are sometimes presented with the use of figurative language in an attempt to describe the indescribable. What seems to be described here is the destruction of the visible atmospheric heavens with a loud rushing sound (Verse 12) along with the burning up of all physical elements of the earth (Verse12).
