Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 3:1-7 (day six)
God’s judgment isn’t destruction for its own sake; it’s restoration through renewal. Peter writes that “the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,” but this fire is not the fury of an angry God. It is the refining blaze of a Creator committed to His creation. From the flood to the final fire, God’s purpose has always been the same: to burn away corruption and bring forth purity, to destroy what is evil so that what is good may flourish.
Judgment is mercy refusing to let sin and corruption have the last word. It’s God’s promise that the world will not stay broken, that love, justice, and truth will prevail. And in the end, when the smoke clears, the risen Jesus declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
