Everyone is preparing homes and investments here, but God wants us to prepare to live with Him as He prepares a place for us - for those who know Him personally.
When is Jesus Returning?
- Matthew 24:36-39 - No one knows the day or the hour that Jesus will return just like they didn't know when the flood of Noah would come and take over.
- 2 TImothy 3:1 warns us that the end times will bring great trouble. It also gives us a list of the ways Christians would misbehave in the end times, including people who would love simple pleasures more than God Himself.
What should we do in the meantime? In Matthew 24:40-44, Jesus says, "Watch & Be Ready" - Jesus will come back when we least expect it.
How would I know if I'll be with Jesus? 1 John 1:9 -The only price we have to pay to be with God for all eternity is the price of our lives. If you believe Jesus is the Son of Man (Romans 10:9), you will be saved.
What happens when we die? 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - Everyone who dies and knew God through Jesus Christ will get up first and be taken to heaven with the Father. In that place, all sickness, all disease, all pain will be gone.
To learn more about the rapture in the end times: 1 Corinthians 15:52-58
There is hope. The blessed hope of the church (what we expect) is the confident expectation that Jesus will return and will take those who love Him, believe Him, trust Him, to be with Him forever.
Are you ready? Titus 2:13 Are you looking, with expectation, for the blessed hope that Jesus is returning soon?
