We ought to live our lives as if it is the last day. As Children of God we have to live a Holy and an acceptable life unto Christ. Romans 12 vs 1&2 tells us how we should live. Many of us are afraid of death. So we have to live our lives clean and holy. If we’re taken out of this world, we are ready to be with Jesus. As one of my Pastors always say “we must be rapture ready.” We must be ready to meet our savior when the rapture comes. It is going to be very hard on us after the rapture. Are we prepared to be taken?
If you read revelation it will tell you about the end time. This is the time for us to be ready. The coming of the Lord and if we’re not then we MUST do something about it. We can talk all we want, we can know the Bible all we want. The word can be preach all we want and we can do all the good we want . If our lives are not up to par with God then we will be lost.
John 4:24 – God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
Hebrews 10:26-31 – For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remained no more sacrifice for sins…….
2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Matthew 25:31-46 – When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory
Are we prepared to be taken?
Many times when witnessing to someone, they would say that “I am a Christian because I pray to the father” but do they really have a relationship with the father?
If you do a hundred percent good and have not a relationship with God, hell will be your portion.
In order for us to go to heaven, we first have to believe there is a God. We need to accept him repent of our sins and have that relationship with him. Not only that we have to be fully surrendered to him. We have to have his word abiding in us. Submitting ourselves to him, putting our body under subjection every day. Abstain from sin and let God have dominion over you.
John 3:3 – Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 14:6 – Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I included some scriptures so we can read. We can be aware of what is expected of us to make sure that if we are taken away suddenly, then we would be taken up. Are we prepared to be taken?
