1st Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Yes, it is true that our planet is in a steady state of decline, morally, spiritually, and physically on every level, and yes, there will always be wars and rumors of war, and perplexity of nations. Yet, the Christian should concentrate his/ her focus on character building and soul winning for these are what will enable us to be prepared to meet Christ, whenever He chooses to appear.
Day by day, as we endeavor to climb Jacob’s ladder one rung at a time, we would be living in readiness, and living in obedience to God, because the state of readiness does not produce, or savor of stagnation and idleness, but rather, will constantly motivate us to be on the move forward, with truth and duty.
In harmony with this counsel, we will end our study with passages which should encourage us to be on the move while at the same time living in readiness.
1st Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” an God bless!
