Are You Ready For Jesus To Come?

God's Truth

If the trumpets were to sound and our Lord were to pierce the clouds right now as you read and/or type here on TOL, would you be ready to meet Him in the air in peace? Or would you be among the group that would cry out for the rocks to fall on you because you cannot bear to behold His light?

Regardless of your answer, how do you know it to be true?

All better be ready. That means we better be clothed with Christ and that means we must be obeying when Jesus comes, he will not be bearing sins when he comes, so you better be ready.

The only thing believers are to make themselves ready for is to stand before God in judgment for receiving or losing rewards, and possibly inheritance. That's what the race is about. But since the believer has been declared justified in Christ -- by HIS righteousness -- loss of salvation is not an issue and it spits on the Cross to even suggest it.

READ THIS SCRIPTURE:

1 John 2:24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.


If it does? As for you, SEE THAT WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD REMAINS in you. IF IT DOES YOU WILL REMAIN IN HIM.

Acts 14:22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.

Romans 11:22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

1 Timothy 3:6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.

Jesus doesn't command all to do that. Jesus doesn't promote worldwide homelessness.
No, He tells those who wish to obtain salvation to do so. Yet I don't see you, who wishes to obtain salvation through your own good works, selling your things and following God.

You are badly mistaken not knowing the scriptures. God wants all to be saved. So then, according to your irrational beliefs, Jesus wants the whole world to be homeless.

Jesus doesn't command all who want to be saved to sell everything they have. You can't be reasoned with because you have teachings from false teachers telling you that you don't have to obey Jesus' outrageous teachings. They think it is outrageous because they themselves don't understand. So they tell you do nothing but believe.

So you're saying that Paul is a liar?

Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, - Romans 4:4-5 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans4:4-5&version=NKJV

when you learn to rightly divide those scriptures instead of letting your imagination run wild about what they mean, they you will have something worth sharing

Why do you want to say that about Paul?

I was asking you, dum dum.

Paul is speaking about the ceremonial works.

Think.

GT, you have yet to show where it says "ceremonial works" instead of just "works".

How do you differentiate between the two when just a few verses earlier in the previous chapter Paul says "we establish the law"? Where does he go from talking about the civil/moral law to talking about ceremonial works?

There's absolutely no transition for you to be able to even make such a claim. This is what happens when you don't have an understanding of the context of a verse.

GT, the book of Romans is known as the greatest treatise of law ever written, at least by Christians. The entire book is about law.

You should go read it, again if already have. And pay attention to what is said and how. Then you may finally understand what the knowledge of good and evil is.

There are works of the law that justified on before God, those are the ceremonial/purification law.

After Jesus shed his blood on the cross, only his blood can justify one.

That is the proof that you are seeking.

The Bible (God) tells me so.

Ephesians 1:12-14 KJV -
[FONT="][FONT=Arial][B]12 [/B][/FONT]That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT="]13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,[/FONT]

[FONT="]14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.[/FONT]
Are you suggesting that the use of the word "sealed" here is what makes you "once saved always saved?"

If so, what does that mean for you? As in, how is that manifested in your life?
