The Message of Hope That Transforms Lives
The Big Picture
Considering all that we face in the world today, it is apparent to us that the world is drawing closer each hour to the soon return of Jesus Christ. According to the Apostle Paul's message to the church of Thessalonica, this is what born again believers in Jesus Christ can expect with joy, in spite of what we see with our eyes in the world: 1 Thess. 4:16-17 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. (17) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord."
The Question
The question we all have to answer is: are you ready to meet our Lord Jesus and not be left behind to face the great tribulation that will be the most difficult time on the face of the earth (Matt. 24:15-31)?
There is only one way to know whether you are ready, and that is to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, being born again in His Spirit. Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, met secretly with Jesus one night declaring to Him that he knew He was sent from God and God was with Him because of the amazing signs and wonders He did. Jesus told him that the only way a person could see the kingdom of God was to be born again. Nicodemus was confused by that statement, questioning how someone could enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born again. Jesus explained it was a rebirth of the spirit, not the flesh (John 3:1-5).
How Do You Know?
We can only be born again by confession of faith in Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:9-10). Have you been born again of the spirit of God in acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Savior? If not, now is the time! He doesn't care how horrible your life has been or how much you have sinned, He died for all mankind to be saved, through faith in Him. That's right: you don't deserve it, but you receive it because of God's grace, which is divine favor given to all believers from God.
Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. We have been given a way out of sin and death through Jesus, who paid the price for our sins on the cross when He suffered and became sin for us all and exchanged our sin for His righteousness, so we could live eternally with Him. All are born with sin, but God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die in our place so we could live eternally with Him (John 3:16).
Confess the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior today in faith, believing that He is God, who came to earth to die for your sins and you will become a member of the family of God. He wants to see a repentant heart, which means our mind has been changed and we turn and are willing to walk in a new life, to serve Him, to pray, study the word of God, and have a relationship with Him. So find a Bible based church to be a part of and continue to seek after God with all your heart, soul and mind.
Jesus wants you to know who He is and who you are in Him. When He returns for us, you will be with us in heaven. If you should die before that happens, your body will rise from the grave and become a glorified body, then you will meet Him in the air to live and reign with Him for a thousand years in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21)! What a glorious future you have!!!! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD!!!!
