Are you really prepared to meet Jesus?
Jesus warns the Church in Revelation.
By Craig C. White
The Bible tells us that the Church had better be on its toes or there will be consequences when Jesus returns at the Resurrection and Rapture. I wouldn’t expect any miraculous awakening before his return except on my website http://www.hightimetoawake.com.
These warnings were given to the Churches in Revelation.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
By the way, I think that the Resurrection and Rapture will happen within the next couple of years. Jesus could come within the next couple of months.
“And saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” (Mark 1:15) The Greek word for “repent” here is “metanoeo”, which translated into English means ” to think differently.” The noun form of the word is “metanoia”, meaning ” a change of mind.” We turn to Jesus to be forgiven of our sins. We don’t turn from our sins in order to trust Jesus. We are saved by acknowledging our sinful condition (Romans 3:19), and believing the Gospel (Mark 1:15). The Gospel is obeyed the moment a sinner trusts in Christ’s death on the cross as payment for his/her sins and Christ’s burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 10:9-11). Salvation is completely of the Lord. Our part is simply to believe, and God does the rest. Hebrews 4:10-11 tells us to completely rest in Christ for salvation. A changed life is the fruit of genuine repentance (James 2:18-21); and not a part of the root of saving faith (Romans 4:5).
