Day of God - When Christ returns
Does Scripture show that the holy conduct, godliness, and prayer hasten Christ's return? Peter seems to think so. See also Matt 6:10; 24:14; Acts 3:19-21. Some may feel uneasy because they worry about the understanding of the sovereignty of God being undercut. But God knows in advance what his people will do, say, pray, and think. He even foreordains it (Prov 16:33; Isa 46:6-9; Lam 3:37-38; Amos 4:13; Eph 1:11). It’s okay to live in the tension between God’s divine sovereignty and our human responsibility.
