Jesus Is Coming Soon!
He said He would. This time to judge all the nations. On that day, “every knee will bow” and “every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”! (Phillipians 2:9-10) In order to escape His wrath on that day (or when you die, whichever comes first) you must accept His offer of forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:9-10) God proved His love and held nothing back when He sent His Son Jesus to take our penalty of death, reconciling all men back to Him. (John 3:16-17)
When God created us, He gave us free will. It’s up to us to accept His gift and gain eternal life and riches untold. It is my prayer that this web site will reach the world with His love, and help people to understand that God loves them so incredibly much! (Psalm 103:11) When we start to get a grasp of how great His love is for us, we can’t help but respond with love toward Him, and love toward our fellow man.
If Jesus is coming back soon, why has it been so long? After all, The first century church believed they were in the last days. (They were, and so are we) Peter reminds us that God is not in a hurry because of His great mercy. 2 Peter 3:8b-9 says, “…that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”
The Bible is clear. No matter when Jesus comes back, we are to be Ready! Matthew 24:44 says, “For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.” How can we be ready? By developing our relationship with God! God held nothing back and proved His love for us by sacrificing His only Son, Jesus as payment for our sins. As a result of accepting God’s gift of love, we become children of God and co-heirs to His kingdom with Jesus! As sons and daughters of God, we can have a personal relationship with the true and living God! Imagine. All-powerful God as best friend and loving Father! It boggles the mind and makes the heart soar with joy!!!
God has an awesome plan for your life. For you to realize that plan in full, you must get born again by Faith in Jesus Christ! Then, develop your close, personal relationship with your loving Heavenly Father. Spend time with Him in prayer, and in His Word. You just might discover that getting ready for the Lord’s return is much more important than the timing of His return!
