Readiness to meeting the righteous judge after the imminent imminent rapture <\/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
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Walking on the 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
2. Doing God’s perfect will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Hearing and doing His sayings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Being a wise virgin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Being liberal to God’s people for Christ’s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Labouring for His kingdom.<\/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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Remaining pure till He comes.<\/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
Examine yourself sincerely, are you doing all of these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are doing them continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are not, begin to do them because of your precious undying soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
