    1. The document discusses how some people deny that Jesus will return, so that they can freely indulge themselves without restraint. It argues that if Jesus' return and the resurrection are not true, then people may as well indulge themselves since life has no greater meaning. 2. However, the document asserts that the Bible clearly teaches Jesus will return, mentioning it over 50 times. It cites 2 Peter 3, noting that just as unbelievers in Noah's time denied the flood despite God saying it would come, people now deny Jesus' return though the Bible affirms it. 3. The document urges readers to consider how they would live differently if they knew when Jesus was returning, implying they should live faithfully

    2 PETER 3:1-14

    DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS COMING BACK?


    1. HE IS COMING AGAIN
    2 Peter 3:3-7
    "If you wanted to be free to do whatever you want to do, to pursue a self-indulgent
    lifestyle, to ignore every restriction that God has set forth, how would you go about
    doing that?" And the most logical course would be to get rid of the concept of the
    second coming. Because if you could succeed in convincing people that Christ is not
    going to come back again, then you would feel free to live however you want to live.
    Paul said in I Corinthians 15:32, "If the dead do not rise, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we
    die." If Christ is not coming back and the theres not going to be a resurrection and theres no
    life in the hereafter, then just go ahead and do whatever you want to do to enjoy life, because
    after all, what difference does it make?
    So Peter is describing here a group of people who have become so caught up in
    their own lusts and desires, that they have no respect for spiritual truths nor any
    desire to obey God. Theyve become intent on living for the moment.
    They are making the second-coming a LIE.
    DELIBERATELY FORGET- they become their own gods.
    Sound familiar? Acting without asking God.
    v.5-7
    Peter says they will look at the past as a gauge of the future. They say,
    "Everything has been going on just as it has since the beginning of creation."
    But Peter says that things havent always stayed the same. He points to the
    great flood in Genesis as evidence of his proof. The people in the days of
    Noah could have made the same argument as these false teachers. "Its
    never flooded before, so its not going to flood now. In fact, its never even
    rained before."

    The truthfulness of any event is not determined by whether or


    not it has ever happened before, but what God says about it.

    Did people believe the flood? No. but did it happen? Yes. So why do
    we doubt the second coming? It is not just a possibility, it is a reality.

    Clear teaching of the New Testament that Jesus Christ is


    indeed coming back -- over 50 times in the New Testament,
    Christians are encouraged to be ready for the second coming

    IF YOU KNEW WHEN JESUS WAS COMING BACK, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? HOW DIFFERENT
    WOULD YOU LIVE?
