It is absurd for men to conclude that this
present world would continue without end. The fact that the predicted end of
the world has not materialized makes cynics argue against an impending
apocalypse. This seems to make sense to the numerous people that would rather
convince themselves that no time of accountability awaits them.
But nothing can be further from the truth.
The scripture says that this world would sooner or later run out of time. This
will occur when Christ returns to reclaim His power and authority over all of
his creation. His coming will catch many people unawares. No one knows the day
or time. But this great event would occur when people would have been deceived
into a false sense of peace and security. Nobody would escape this event.
Christians are warned not to be caught unawares by the Lord’s coming. God dos
not want Christians to suffer the judgment that would come upon sinners.
Instead, He desires that they receive salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Believers must strengthen and encourage one another and not live as if the
world would not end.
Live daily as if the Lord would come the
next minute. Watch over your actions and conducts; ensure that they conform to
God”s standard. We must not only believe that the Lord would come soon: we must
prepare for it. We must not allow a moment to pass without ensuring that our
lives are devoid of things that can displease the Lord. Where any sin or ecvil
has crept in, we must promptly go to the Lord and plead with him to forgive and
cleanse us. We must not only be prepared, but spread this message of readiness
to all who know and love the Lord.
