Subject: Where do I go from here? |
Bible Note: This long discuission has dwelt heavily on the approach of Christ return/ on the belief of the NT authors on Christ' return being at hand. My note is simply why is Christ returning? John 14:3 "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Daniel 12:1-2 "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued (Saved). Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but others to disgrace and everlasting contempt." Romans 13:11-12 "And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of Light." The bible works as a whole to instruct and reveal light to us all, Christ returns for us/his disciples, So we can go where He is. Death is not an obstacle, because He has conquered death. Yesterday His return was near, today it is nearer, tomorrow He will come. Or else we where never saved.And there is no hope. 1 Peter 1:13 writes " Therefore prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." I hope these verses encourage, the truth. Your friend and Brother, Harold |
