The Practical Use of the World's End

This section discusses how Christians should live, knowing that the world will one day be destroyed by fire. Peter wants believers to think seriously about their behavior and attitudes, because everything they see around them will not last forever. He encourages a holy and godly life as we wait for God’s promises, and he explains how the hope of a new heaven and new earth should affect our actions.

v. 11: Since everything in this world will be destroyed in this way, Christians should think about what kind of people they ought to be. We should live holy lives and show respect for God in all we do. Our actions should be different from those who do not believe, because we know the end is coming (Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 2 Peter 3:11 ^a).
