Loving the appearing of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One major requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture, is your wholehearted love for His appearing..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So to be ready and partake in the imminent rapture, you must be committed to doing the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Living with eternity in view, by setting your affection on eternal things at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Living a lifestyle of sobriety righteousness and godliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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; 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Labouring in Christ services living sacrificial lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 5:3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abiding in Christ till He comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continue purified lifestyle through the precious blood of Jesus.<\/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
Doing all of these will help you to be ready at His coming in Jesus name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
