Subject: Why did God send phophets |
Bible Note: Oh, I agree, I think indeed that God's fervent wish is that we be prepared. We prepare ourselves when we obey Him and trust in His grace through faith in His Son to save us. We prepare ourselves by becoming heralds of the good news of Christ Jesus to our fellowman. We prepare ourselves by living obedient and righteous lives to the glory of God . But I equally agree, in concord with charis, that spending an inordinate amount of time trying to unravel all the mysteries of the end times is not the proper way to prepare ourselves nor to serve God during these fleeting moments that we have on earth. --Hank |
