His righteousness requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture and eternity with God.

His righteousness, requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture and eternity with God.

Hebrews  11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Genesis  7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Noah was a righteous person. He and his household were saved from the flood that destroyed the whole world.

If you to desire to partake in the imminent rapture before the devastating judgement of God begins on the earth,  you must be righteous like Noah.

However, you must understand that there are two categories of righteousnesses.  The acceptable and the unacceptable.

1. Righteousness not acceptable 

Isaiah  64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Listen to biblical description of righteousnesses that is filthy rags.

Luke  18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:  18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.  18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.  18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

2. Righteousness acceptable.

Listen to description of righteousness that is acceptable.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

It means you are seeking God first in all your endeavors and you are living with eternity in view.

These acceptable righteousness is the requisite  to live eternally with God.after death or partake in the imminent rapture.

Matthew  13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew  25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

However this righteousness must be His righteousness..

The reason for this is because both God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ have this  righteousness as their nature.

God the Father is righteous.

Psalms  145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

Jesus the righteous.

1 John  2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

To be part of the imminent rapture or live eternally with Him, you must have His righteousness.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

What is this righteousness like?

Hebrews  1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.  1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

It is the righteousness that makes you to be like righteous Jesus and hate iniquity.

Why is this so?

Only those who are free from all the Bible refers to as iniquity belong to God.

2 Timothy  2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Iniquity will separate those inside and outside the church from God for ever and ever.

Matthew  7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

How do you attain His righteousness?

Titus  2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,  2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Through His grace you attain biblical salvation,  freedom from outward sin and biblical sanctification,  freedom from inward sins.

Come to Jesus, now for it and you will partake in the imminent rapture or live eternally with God at the end of your life in Jesus name.

Let us pray.
