Living by the faith, requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
What you have done with the totality of God’s eternal words will determine the dead in Christ and the living saints that will be caught up during the imminent rapture.
God’s words affirm the certainty of the glorious event.
1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
One of the things you discover from the scriptures, is that the dead in Christ and the living saints that will be part of this event have their names written in the book of life.
Anyone whose name is not written in the book of life can not partake in it.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
For your name to remain in the book of life, after being written, you must be living by the entirety of God’s words in the Bible.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Our Lord during His earthly ministry also affirmed that what you do with His words will determine your eternal wellbeing.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
The bucks stops with you. Sincerely examine yourself, are you picking and choosing what you will believe in the Bible or you live by its entirety?
Those who are rejecting any part of the scriptures will experience great tribulation according to our Lord Jesus Christ. Only those who are living by the entirety of the word will avert it.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Glory to God, He has brought you to 2026.
Will you live in the same tabernacle with Him for all eternity?
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Remember what our Lord said. Be wise.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Let us pray.
