Biblical purity requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why must you live a lifestyle of biblical purity? It is because Jesus our bridegroom is coming for a glorious church and not graceless church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glorious church <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graceless church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following are the scriptural descriptions of biblical purity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psalms 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proverbs 22:11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Peter 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God’s grace is sufficient for you to live this lifestyle till Christ comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you discover that your lifestyle does not align with the above scriptures, repent immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good Lord will help you to be ready for His coming in Jesus name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
