Our Salvation is ever so important. So-So many Christians seem to be concerned with worldly things & not Eternal life in Heaven. It would be a shame to miss Heaven, for The Trump to sound & you find yourself left behind because you were just too invested in worldly things, pushing aside your very own Salvation because you loved something more within this world than your love for Jesus & Heaven. What a sad-sad day it would be realizing Jesus came for those who were prepared & you are left to face the horrors of the Great Tribulation! The Bible Tells us to work out our own Salvation. Philippians 2:12 (AMP) So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. Be alert & awake to the signs of the times. No man knows the time of Jesus meeting us in the clouds at the Trump sounding. But, we can know the time is near, the time is short, by the signs, by the things that are happening around us! We don’t have a time line, we have a sign line! Understand the truly Born-Again Christian will not go through the Great Tribulation. Yes, I’m Pre-Trib. I believe the Bible, so therefore I believe Revelation 3:10-11 (AMP) Because you have kept the word of My endurance [My command to persevere], I will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial, that hourwhich is about to come on the whole [inhabited] world, to test those who live on the earth.I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith]. Notice I will keep you safe from the hour that is coming on the inhabitants of the earth. What hour? The Great Tribulation. On who? The inhabitants of the world! If one is truly Born-Again, if one is truly following after Jesus & not the world, if they have faith, complete trust in Jesus, His Word, His Holy Spirit & is working out their own Salvation, they will be part of the “catching-away” the Rapture spoken of in Thessalonians 4:13-18. I have been challenged a few times over this Pre-Trib stance. The Scripture they have used against my stance is Romans 5:3-4 (AMP) And not only that,but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. My response: Yes, around the world Christians do experience major tribulations, even death. But, these Tribulations have been brought on by man & local in their region of the world. The Great Tribulation will be world wide & by God Himself. Prepare, Study the Word, learn the Word-so you will not be deceived, let the Holy Spirit move in your life, share Jesus with others & be expecting to hear at any moment the Trump sound & Jesus to appear in the clouds & take that flight through the air to meet Him!! Jesus is the Way, the Truth & the Life! Only way to the Father in Heaven is through Jesus!
John 14:6 (AMP) Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
God IS Good ALL The Time...
