The Bible points us toward a future reality that will surpass anything we can imagine - a new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells. Scripture is our most precious possession, protecting us from deception in these end times. Peter urges believers to live holy lives while looking forward to this promised future where God will dwell among His people, wiping away every tear and eliminating death, mourning, and pain. This eternal perspective should reorient our focus, develop patience with current imperfections, create urgency in sharing the gospel, and transform how we live today.
