Becoming a glorious church, requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture <\/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
The Lord Jesus Christ is coming for the glorious church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very very unfortunately, multitude of churchgoers globally are members of 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 reason why this is so, is because they received not the trust that can help them to be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They literally departed from the faith and allow their condolences to be seared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, they turned their ears from the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please examine yourself. Are you presently a member of a glorious or a graceless church?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you walking on the broad or narrow road?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you daily serving Christ in biblical holiness lifestyle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luke 1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bucks stops with you. His grace is sufficient for you.<\/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
Endeavor to be a part of the glorious church and you will not be caught unprepared when our Lord comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
