What kind of person ought we to be?

2 Peter 3:10-11 " But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, burning with intense heat, will be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it till be burned up. Since all these things are to be thus dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be..."

Following is a portion of words taken from the Ministry Magazine which i enjoyed,

" In our fellowship with the Lord we need to consider what kind of persons we will be at the end. Will we be persons in a holy manner of life and godliness? Will we...be found by Him in peace because we are right in the sight of God with everyone and everything? This is the way we want to end our course....Eventually, God's ultimate governmental dealing will be upon the material universe, which will dissolve in intense heat. Everything will be dissolved; nothing will remain. Then there will be new heavens and a new earth permeated with God's righteousness. Since this will happen, what kind of persons ought we to be? We must say, " Lord, we ought to become the reproduction of Christ."

Dear saints, in order to become a reproduction of Christ, we need to experience Christ as the One living in us, being formed in us and making His home deep down in our being so that He can spread from our spirit to all the parts of our heart. The more Christ spreads within us, the more He settles down in us and makes His home in our heart; in this way He occupies every part of our inner being, possessing these parts and saturating them with Himself so that we may be filled unto all the fullness of God. As Christ lives in us, is formed in us, and makes His home in our hearts, we become a reproduction of Christ.

O what a privilege that we can hear such a word in these days. Therefore, we must be the more diligent to pursue the growth and development of the divine life within us in this age. We don't want to be those who will be weeping and gnashing our teeth in the outer darkness.

Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord's Recovery, today, almost all of the high peak divine revelations are opened to us, are we willing to dive into them or do we prefer to be in that pitiful situation just like the others from the denominations when the Lord comes back?

May we all be encouraged to redeem our time, pursue and equip ourselves with the truth with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. The Lord be with us all. Amen.
