Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
You must be found in Christ, clothed in His righteousness alone, not your own. Being thus dressed, you will not be ashamed before the Judge. Christ finds His own in redemption, in calling, and at last in gathering, and they will be presented complete and perfect, not one lacking.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (g) that you may try to your benefit, how gently and profitable he is.
Hope is not mere sentiment; it works in us and draws us to renewal. Whoever waits for new heavens must begin his own transformation now, not cling to filth and this corrupt world. What matters is being approved by Christ's judgment, not the praise of men.
