As we watch the events unfold before our verry eyes it looks as if the world is falling apart, and seems that the population of the world has grasped the reality that our time here may be about over.
Now for some that is a comforting thought and are looking forward to their end on earth, to other this is a fearful thought.
This is to those who call themselves Christians.
Are you truly ready to meat the Lord in the air, are you truly ready for His return for you?
Or are you caught up in the events and by stepping the requirement for you to go with Him?
The requirements as simple for those who are call by His name.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ except Him as your Lord, repent of your sins { to repent is to turn from } confess Him before mankind and He will confess you before His Father.
If you truly love the Lord your GOD you will keep His commandments, do you?
Do you trust the Lord Jesus Christ with your entire life, every aspect of every choice you make?
It is simple to say “I am a Christian” but can be a bit difficult to walk it out in real life. The majority of us can get so raped up the moment of the day and forget to ask for direction before we move forward, or we will ask but not truly wait to hear from the lord before moving forward. Allowing our own desires to make the decision for us.
And then to justify our decision we say the Lord told me. We are told to wait upon the Lord, when we ask we should then wait for a answer, no mater how long it may take. One thing that should be in every request made??? “ Lord if it be Your will “
In Matthew 7:21-13 Jesus tells us what it takes to go with Him on His return.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not all who say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord,’ did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?
And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”
Calling your self a Christian does not make you a follower of Christ. no more then calling yourself a car makes you acar.
Doing great acts does not make you a follower of Christ,
Stuff, things, money, your possessions nor your positions, nor doing things in the name of the Lord makes you a Christian { a follower of Christ }
Whether you are truly a follower of Christ or not is between you and Him. But is something you should truly look at.
Jesus also tell us in John 14:15
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments”
John 14:21
“he who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
And He said to Him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.
This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Something to think about:
Does your loyalties lay in your self your, your things, your money, your position or does it lay in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Who is your GOD?
Hebrews 13:5
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU.
think about it.
