Hello Church,
As the days are getting closer and closer to the return and coming of Jesus, there are certain things that you and I can know that it is very close. This is the day that God is calling His people to awake – to shake off the dust – to press into the things of the Lord – to fight the good fight of faith – to be a people that are separated unto Him for His glory and His purposes. In Proverbs 24:10 it states, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.” The Prophet Jeremiah complained to the Lord and the Lord asked him a question, “If you can’t keep up with the footmen, how are you going to contend with horses?”
We’re living in a day now where many churches and ministers are denying the existence of hell. Denying the existence of hell will always prepare the way for deception. Think about it – if there is no hell, then there is no sin – if there is no sin, there’s no need for redemption – no redemption, no need of a savior – no need of a Savior, then there’s no God.
I know that there are those who would say that we need to make the Gospel more appealing, more accommodating, friendlier, that people need to be encouraged, be loved,BUT the Word of God says that we should consider the goodness of God and also the severity (sternness, harshness, strictness) of God. (Rom. 11:22)
Church – too many Christians have lost their purpose – their purpose to represent Jesus here on this earth – it’s not all about your happiness – IT’S ABOUT HIS GLORY.
Jesus is coming and the question is, “Are you ready?” If you’re ready, keep pressing in, keep fighting, keep standing, BUT if you’re not ready, now is the time to get ready and to stay ready.
