Blamelessness, requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture.

 BLAMELESSNESS REQUISITE FOR READINESS FOR THE IMMINENT RAPTURE.1 Thessalonians  5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians  1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians  3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Dearly beloved brethren, certainly and assuredly the coming of our Lord draweth nigh.

James 5:8

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

The coming of our Lord is certain.

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

The imminent rapture is going to happen suddenly.

1 Corinthians  15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Our Lord Jesus Christ admonished His followers to live in readiness at all times.

Matthew  24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

But then as you get ready for the imminent rapture, you are under compulsion to meet the requisites.

The requisite is to be blameless.

What does this mean to be blameless biblically?  Listen to what the scriptures say.

1 Thessalonians  5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians  1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To be blameless is to be without blemish, holy, unblamable and unreproveable.

Ephesians  5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Colossians  1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

1 Thessalonians  2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

1 Thessalonians  3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

To be blameless is to be a shinning light in a crocked world.

Philippians  2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

To be blameless is to be keeping the totality of God’s commandments.

Luke  1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.  1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

To be blameless is to be without spot.

2 Peter  3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.  3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

To be blameless is to be peaceable.

2Peter  3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.  3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Romans  12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Hebrews  12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Beloved, pause and in humility and sincerity, examine yourself,  are you blameless?

Your response should be affirmative yes, but if no, then reach out to Calvary.

Whatever your discovery, Calvary is still flowing with the Crimson blood of our beloved Redeemer.

2 Corinthians  13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Blamelessness is a very important requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture or eternity with God.

Revelation  3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.  3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.  3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Revelation  3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.  3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The Lord will help you to be worthy to walk with Him in white.

Revelation  19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.  19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

You must be clothed with fine linen.

All of these would be attainable through Christ, when you are genuinely and biblically saved and Sanctified.

Biblical salvation.

John  3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

2 Corinthians  5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Biblical sanctification.

John  17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Hebrews  13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

The grace of God will help you in particular to be able to live to a blameless lifestyle at all times, till Christ comes in Jesus name.

2 Corinthians  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Let us pray.
