Greetings and blessings to all of you. The Word of God in the Living Bible 2nd Thess. 1:7-10 says, “when the Lord Jesus appears suddenly from heaven in flaming fire with his mighty angels bring judgement on those who do not wish to know God and who refuse to accept his plan to save them through our Lord Jesus Christ. They will be punished in everlasting hell forever separated from the Lord never to see the glory of his power when he comes to receive praise and admiration because of all he has done for his people his saints.” It will be your passing and/ or the RAPTURE then the SECOND COMING. He will return to earth but not in the humble fashion of His first coming; when His purpose was to die for the sins of mankind. What do you think of when you know what is going to happen? What are you going to do with this information? What about your family and love ones? Do you care about their soul? Do you care about what will happen to them upon His return? Jesus left the first time leaving us with certain commandments.
Matthew 28:18,20 “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo I am with you always even unto the end of the world.”Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power after that Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and unto uttermost part of the earth.”
What are the reasons that you and I are not sharing the Good News? If we read and study the Word if a person asks you a difficult question and you are not able to answer be honest. Say you do not know... and you will get back to them with an answer. Or if you think the commandment does not apply to you. Pray to God about that. He will reveal it to you that His commandments are for His followers. If you are afraid; pray and ask God for boldness. Paul did in Eph 6:18-20. Some say “I don’t know how to witness.” If that is you; one of the simplest ways to witness is to tell people how you got saved. “I don’t have time” We all have 24 hours. God wants us to use our time wisely. I encourage all of us to be obedient and begin sharing the Gospel NOW.
With the Love of Christ
