Bible Question: Is prayer the only way we hasten the coming of the day of God while still being anchored here on Earth? |
Bible Answer: Hello Jules! Here is something that I have found in response to your question.. "One of the motives for holy conduct and godliness is expectation. "Hastening" means "eagerly desiring" that something will happen. Christians are not to fear the future day of God, but eagerly hope for it (cf. 1 Cor. 1:7; 16:22; 1 John 2:28; 3:3)." (1) I do not believe that we can in any way "hasten" the coming day of God by ourselves through prayer. We should only prepare ourselves and be ready for its coming when it happens. God had everything under control, and He will see to it that everything happens in His timetable and according to His grand design! Good question Jules! --Nolan (1) The MacArthur NKJV Study Bible |
