Scripture and a Snapshot - Righteousness Will Be At Home




Moreover, dear friends, do not ignore this: with the Lord, one day is like a thusand years and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient with you; for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins.

. . . but we, following along with his promise, wait for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will be at home. Therefore, dear friends, as you look for these things, do everything you can to be found by him without spot or defect and at peace.

   ~II Peter 3:8-9~

  1. I’ve never seen it put quite that way. How wonderful it will be to live where righteousness is at home.

    1. I liked the wording of this translation - helps me see the purpose of Christ's kingdom come to earth.

  3. "Righteousness at home" reminds me of the phrase in Hebrews where the author admits that presently we do not see everything in subjection to God. So true, but then, we have hope for the new heavens and the new earth!

    1. That's a good connection for the idea of righteousness being at home. Often we have the sense when we experience righteousness that it is unusual and remarkable in our world - that's because it's not truly at home in our sinful, broken world!
