Therefore,
beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in
peace, without spot and blameless – 2 Peter 3.14
Diligence is a key part of
our call to service. We are to be steadfast and immovable. We are not to get
weary. We are to not lose heart. We are to be driven by the love of Christ and
not by perceived success or failure.
In peace
Without spot
Blameless
More reminders here about
how to live while we are waiting. Paul wrote about this to the Romans and the
Thessalonians and he wrote the same to Pastor Titus. While we are looking we must give ever more
diligence to the task before us by striving for peace, by living with such a
testimony that there is nothing spotting our holiness, and my striving for the
blameless kind of life that only comes by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We read a lot about
diligence in the word of God, Here we are told that we are to be diligent about
being people of peace and about striving live a spotless and blameless life.
This faith walk is not a
take it or leave it thing. We must daily apply ourselves to the task of being
more like Jesus so that the world can see Him in us.
