Are We Looking For Him?

The writer of Hebrews says that "unto them that look for Him shall He appear...". The question is: Are we looking for Him? Do we have a heart-felt expectation of His coming for His Church?

The Bible holds forth one truth that is positive evidence of such anticipation; 1 John 3:3 says "And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure."

So, here's the fact of the matter: If we aren't living a pure life, then, regardless of protests to the contrary, we are not looking for the coming of the Lord, nor are we prepared for this event!

This is the time to WAKE UP! There will be no 2 minute warning prior to His coming! The Bible speaks of this event as coming as a thief in the night, at a time unexpected by most.

Yet, we have been warned. Time and time again, God has faithfully sent messengers of His word to tell us that we must be living a prepared life!

As I write this on a Saturday morning, I am well aware that, if the Lord delays His coming, tomorrow will find thousands of professes Christians who will attend a service, be stirred by the music, have their "worship" time, then leave the sanctuary to engage in things that prove that their heart is not in fellowship with the Lord!

Folks, it's time to break up the fallow ground, repent of all ungodliness, embrace holiness and live as those who truly have a hope of eternal life! As those who are anticipating their entrance into His glorious presence!

My prayer is that all who read these words will ultimately and eternally be saved!

God bless.
