A thief in the Night
The apostle Peter writes,
“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” 2Peter3:10
The apostle Paul writes,
“Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”1 Thessalonians 5:1,2.
As Christians we believe Christ will return to the earth. That God will judge all people and that the world as we know it will pass away.
We do not know the time or day when Jesus will return to this earth. We only know he will and that God will one day judge this world.
Thus we need to be ready. To have our lives right with God. The writer of Ecclesiastes states,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
Question, were Jesus to return today would you be ready to stand before God and give account of all you have done in your life both good and bad?
Do you have an assurance that you will get into heaven?
If you don’t Jesus offers that assurance.
The apostle John records Jesus speaking of himself and saying,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
The question is do you believe this?
Are you willing to risk your eternal resting place on what you believe?
Please think about it.
