Are You Ready?

Christians are waiting in anticipation for the glorious day when Jesus shall come for His church. There is only one church, and that is the body of Christ, and He is the head. All God’s plans for the church, for the world, and for Isreal will be fulfilled. There are many promises made in Scripture that have already been fulfilled. As children of God we must be ready, there are somber warnings in God’s Word about not being ready. About people believing false teachings, false prophets, and false christs. Many people teaching and preaching deception, and taking hordes of people to hell with them. We must be a discerning people and check everything with Scripture. Make sure, professing Christian that you are ready and that you will not hear these awful words from Jesus.

Matthew 7:21-23

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,

shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;

but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, 

have we not prophesied in thy name? 

and in thy name have cast out devils? 

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them,

I never knew you:

Depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

 

 

Be A Light

 Part of a miners equipment is a light that is attached to his helmet. He could not do his job without it because he wouldn’t be able to see in the darkness.

 Christians know that the world is in darkness. Before the Lord did a wonderful work of grace in our lives, we were in darkness, but there are many in these days who, though professing to be Christian, do not have the Light. They are still fumbling about, looking for the next experience, all froth and no substance. They are, as Jesus said to the Pharisees, the blind leading the blind. Matthew 15:14.                               Supposed men of God, spiritually blind and walking in spiritual darkness.

Matthew 14:8.                                                                                                                                             This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honour with me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Men and women who are truly born again recognise that Jesus is the only source of light. 

He is the Word made flesh, He is our Redeemer. We cannot live in this dark world safely without His light.  Just as the miner needs his lamp, we need Gods Word to light our path. 

John 8:12                                                                                                                                                    Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

-We need to be daily in God’s Word. There is much counterfeit in these days, we need discernment, we need to test everything by the light of God’s Word. When we have this light then we can be a light to others, showing the way to the truth that sets people free, that takes them out of the darkness into the true Light. We cannot show others if we do not have it ourselves.
