current position future hope 2 Peter 3: Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct & godliness, [current position] 12 looking for & hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, & the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens & a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. [future hope]

current position future hope 1 John 3:2-3 - Beloved, now we are children of God [current position], & it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. [future hope] 3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
