Exhortation
to Holy Living
"Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness." 2 Pet. 3:11
Conversation in vs. 11 is the next key expression. This word does not signify talk
but manner of life. It lays emphasis on what one is and does. In the light of
the coming inferno of the world, how important it is to consider what the
issues may be. Wrath will fall upon the wicked. The time may be nearer than one
thinks; therefore, the only sensible conclusion demands a turning to the Lord
for His salvation and a turning away from wickedness in life to holiness and
godliness of conduct. This may not be the highest motive for a good life, but
it is, nevertheless, a real motive.
