Jesus Is Coming Again

It is appointed unto man once to die and after death, the judgement; in that same way Christ was offered once and He shall appear a second time to those who look for His second coming.

‘‘And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation’’ (Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV)

Jesus Christ will surely come again, but He is coming for those who look for His second coming.

Don’t be fooled by how things are going on in today’s world. The Bible tells us that while the prophets promise peace and peace and peace, then suddenly destruction will come upon the world as a snare. Jesus is coming again! Lift up your eyes and see the Lord coming. His coming is drawing closer and closer.

Our salvation is nearer than ever. We will be raptured and be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18¹ teaches this clearly. We will be caught up and we shall be with Him.

How can anyone get ready for this second coming? How can we be ready for such a journey? We shall be caught up to meet the Lord and be with him forever. Glory to God!!!

1. Admit that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God because one man sinned. (Romans 3:23²; Romans 5:6-21³)

We have all sinned and lost the glory of God because one man sinned. We have fallen short of the glory of God and we suffer the repercussions of disobedience. This is how sicknesses, diseases, pain, poverty and afflictions set in. Sin stole from us, sin steals and kills dignity and glory.

2. Believe and confess that without the shedding of blood there cannot be the remission of sins.

Indeed, ‘‘Jesus Christ offered himself a ransom for all to be testified in due season’’ (Hebrews 9:22⁴; 1Timothy 2:5-7) Without faith, it’s impossible to access the grace that saves.

‘‘Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God’’ (Romans 5:1-2 KJV)

By faith we have access into this grace in which we stand and rejoice.

3. Read your Bible and pray every day to know and obey the will of God for your life.

Acts 2:42-47⁵ teaches how the early believers excelled in their faith adventures. Read your own Bible and pray every day. The Bible is the only book you can count on in all matters of instruction in the faith.

4. Fellowship and witness everyday

Hebrews 10:25⁶ tells us to fellowship more and more as the day approaches. We must fellowship regularly in the temples and from house-to-house. And they continued in the temple and from house to house with one accord and ate their bread with gladness.

As we follow these four simple steps, we will rise as the sun and never set. Our spirits and souls blaze on as stars. You will see light; your light will never go out. God will take you far; stand firm.

I love you.

1. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJV): But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. ↩︎

3. Romans 5:6-21 (KJV): For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. ↩︎
