We are to look at life from a temporary point of view.

Dr. Tony Evans says eternity changes the way we see earthly matters.

If you have a forever mentality, you're going to be tied to this world.

Therefore, don't hold on to anything like it is forever.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Have you ever noticed how quickly temporary things can start to feel permanent?

Today, Dr. Evans explores why God calls us to hold this world loosely while living with eternity firmly in view.

Let's join him as he begins.

Peter's goal with the prophetic word is that prophecy should lead to an experience.

So we pick it up in verse 8 as we go through verse 13 in this session.

But do not let this one fact escape you, beloved,

that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day.

He says,

make sure your theology of time is correct.

God does not view time as we do.

You can't look at your clock to time God.

We are creatures of time. Peter says, don't impose that on God,

because he doesn't operate that way. Now, there is coming a day when God's reality will be our

experience in the eternal state when there is no longer any night, no longer any sun,

and we are existing in a timeless state, there will be for us no tomorrow and no yesterday,

we will live in a now because we will be in an eternal state.

The Lord is not, verse 9, slow about his promise.
