2 Peter 3:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ The Lord is not slow in doing what he promised—the way some people understand slowness. But God is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to be lost. He wants everyone to change his heart and life.

¹⁰ But the day the Lord comes again will be a surprise, like a thief. The skies will disappear with a loud noise. Everything in the skies will be destroyed by fire. And the earth and everything in it will be exposed.^{[a] 11} In that way everything will be destroyed. So what kind of people should you be? You should live holy lives and serve God.
