“Mom does everyone set goals for themselves?” Christian asked. “Most people do,” answered his mom. Christian and his mom were talking about goals. Christian learned that a goal is when someone has their mind set on something and tries to direct every bit of their effort to reaching that thing their mind and heart was set on. Christian’s mom gave him an example: if a boy had his heart set on growing up to play in the NFL he would strive and do his best in football to reach the NFL.
In 2nd Peter 3:14 we have three goals that Peter has asked us to Strive for. Since we are looking forward to a new heaven and earth the goals are to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace with him.
Study Questions:
1. Are you looking forward to the same thing Peter has asked us to look forward to (take a look at 2 Peter 3:11-13)?
2. When Peter says “make every effort” does this mean working in your own strengths? (Look over chapter 1)
3. What does it mean to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace with him?
4. Are you “making every effort” to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace with him? If not what is standing in your way?
5. What are some things you can change to begin living a life that is spotless, blameless and at peace with God?
