2. Despite the delay, 2 Peter 3:8-9 assures us God's timeline reflects his patience and desire for repentance.

B. This delay serves as an opportunity for repentance and transformation.
3. The certainty of the Day of the Lord calls us to pursue holiness according to 2 Peter 3:10-13.
A. The heavens will pass away, so we should anticipate and prepare for God's kingdom.
