Revelation 21:7-8 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
My friends, it is evident that we are living in the last of the Last Days. Jesus will soon return for His Bride; the Church. We know this as the Rapture. This is spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 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. 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.
This is literal. It absolutely will happen. We don’t know exactly when, but it will happen. The question is: Who will be taken up in the Rapture of the Church and who will be left behind to face the Great Tribulation which will be a horrible time on earth?
Jesus answered this question in Revelation 21:7-8 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
For the past few days, we have been discussing the first thing on this list: fear. Jesus makes it clear that those who are fearful will NOT be raptured with the Church. Why? Because fear is the absolute lack of faith. Only the faithful will be included. All others will be left to suffer the years led by the Antichrist.
The second thing on the list is unbelief. This too is a lack of faith but to a greater extent. Those who don’t believe in the Finished Work of Jesus Christ are not saved and therefore, they will be left behind in the Rapture of the Church and they will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire; Hell.
I know this may seem harsh, but time is short. We must get back to preaching and teaching the Truth as it is written in God’s Word. In the 3rd Chapter of the Book of John, Jesus spells it out plainly. I suggest you read and study the whole Chapter but for the sake of space, I will share here Jesus’ final Word on the subject of belief. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John 3:36)
It doesn’t get much more plain and clear than that. Today is the day to believe; really believe; believe enough to overcome all fear and the sin in your life. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. (Revelation 21:7)
It’s all about believing in and having faith in Jesus Christ and His Finished Work on the Cross of Calvary. If you have that faith, you’re in. If you don’t……...you’re out. The choice is yours. Today is the day of Salvation. Do you believe? I pray your answer is yes.
Believe in Jesus and God will……….turn the tide……….in your life.
I believe! Doreen
