B. New Behavior 12 as you LOOK FORWARD to the day of God and speed its coming.

C. New Forecast That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.

2. How Does His Promise Influence Us? 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, What kind of people ought you to be?

A. A Well-Defined Lifestyle You ought to live Holy (internal: “clean” lifestyle) and Godly (external: “exemplary” lifestyle) lives

B. A Well-Defined Eagerness 14 So then, dear friends, since you are LOOKING FORWARD to this,

c. A Well Defined Training Make every effort to be found Spotless (prayer, confession, cleansing from God) Blameless (make things right if at all possible) And at peace with Him. (Constantly seek knowledge of His will) [A pause for the sake of unity and protection, Vss ]

3. How Is It Possible To Do This?

C. A Well Defined Resource But GROW in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ (vs 18)

D. A Well-Defined Worship 18b To him be glory both now and for ever! Amen.
