What is about to happen?
The greatest event of the 21st Century is about to happen; Jesus Christ is returning!
He is first returning for His people; the born again believers who are looking for his return.
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up in the air with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.” (1Thess 4:16-17)
Can you imagine CNN and all the major networks covering this story?
Hundreds of millions of people will be missing from earth; as they will all disappear in one second.
The world will be thrown into shock, fear and great despair with nobody knowing what will happen next.
Then great tribulation and catastrophic judgment will fall upon the world for seven years till Jesus returns physically to reign and rule on earth.
It seems like the world is falling apart before our eyes as we watch and read daily the headline stories of: NORTH KOREA, ISIS, WORLDWIDE TERRORISTS ATTACKS, WARS, RUSSIA’S AGGRESSIVENESS, A DIVIDED AND WEAKENED USA, RACISM, HATRED, FREQUENT MAJOR EARTHQUAKES, MONSTER STORMS, CLIMATE CHANGE AND NEW VIRUS’S AND BACTERIA RESISTANT TO TREATMENT, JUST TO MENTION A FEW.
We have never in history seen such major problems facing our world and with no solutions.
Today almost all major Bible prophesy scholars, Bible teachers and church leaders agree we are in the last of the last days, just before Christ’s return.
The Bible says we will not know the day or the hour, but we will definitely know the season.
“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Luke 21:28 As no other time in history, Jesus’ soon return is being rapidly ushered in by the fulfilling of Bible prophecy as we watch the daily news.
How to get ready
You need to make sure you are ready to meet God and have received His love and forgiveness before Jesus Christ returns.
Contrary to what you feel or believe God isn’t mad at you and it’s never too late to come to Him.
No matter how much you have messed up your life with sin and wrong choices God still loves you and wants to forgive you.
All you have to do is to BELIEVE!
THE PATH TO FORGIVENESS AND NEW LIFE
- Our condition
Sin is our failure to measure up to God’s holiness and righteous standards.
We sin by things we do, choices we make, attitudes we show and thoughts we entertain.
No matter how hard we try, none of us do the right thing all the time.
The Bible says, “There is none righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Our sins separates us from a Holy God. No matter how you might classify yourself, we are all sinners.
- Sin’s penalty
The Bible clearly says, “the wages of sin is death”(Romans 6:23). Because of your sin you are condemned to death, which is eternal separation from God in hell.
God is absolutely holy and just, therefore He cannot overlook even a single sin.
- Man’s solution
Many of us are confused about the way to God and believe God will look upon our good deeds and our kind acts as qualification for entering Heaven. Compared to others we may feel that we are not that bad.
The Bible teaches us that no amount of human goodness, human works, human morality, or religious activity can gain anyone acceptance into heaven.
Giving of time and money or helping others are “good” things to do, but they will never save a person from eternal death.
The moral, the immoral, and religious men are all in the same boat; they all fall short of God’s perfect righteousness. God says “all our righteous acts are like filthy rags”. (Isaiah 64:6)
- God’s solution
God’s great love has not left us without a solution as the penalty for your sins had to be paid. God in His grace and mercy sent His son Jesus to die in our place for all our sins.
“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” (John 3:16)
“God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us”. (Romans 5:18)
“For Christ died for sins once for all; the righteous for the unrighteous to bring you to God”. (1Peter 3:18)
“Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except by me”.(John 14:6)
When Jesus died on the cross he took away all your sins past, present and future they are gone, they have been paid for by His Blood. In His great love He died in your place.
The only thing you need to do is to believe it and receive it for yourself.
People never go to Hell for their sins, they have all been taken away by Jesus.
They only go to Hell for not believing and receiving for themselves what Jesus has already done for them.
- Receiving God’s solution
We each must come to God the same way:
- as a sinner who recognizes his sinfulness.
- with the realization that no human works can result in salvation.
- And with complete faith in Christ’s finished work alone for your salvation.
Receive God’s love and forgiveness right now before it’s too late. It’s a free gift that He has already given you through the finished work of Christ Jesus.
All you have to do is to believe and receive it. Pray this simple prayer below with a sincere heart and you will be saved immediately. God is lovingly waiting for you to respond to Him.
LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD AND THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DIED FOR MY SINS. I BELIEVE YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD HAS ALREADY CLEANSED ME OF EVERY SIN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I BELIEVE YOU AND RECEIVE WHAT YOU DID FOR ME LORD JESUS RIGHT NOW. COME INTO MY HEART AND LIVE WITH ME.
“Yet to all who received Him to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God”. (John 1:12)
“That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”. (Romans 10:9)
“For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”. (Romans 10:13).
