[the following is almost entirely scripture put together with a few connecting sentences]
What Christ opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. Do not let him say of you as God said of the Israelites that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Stay focused on the Lord and be alert. In contrast to the lost masses of this generation, follow the steps below. Remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
- Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.
- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.
- Let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
- Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.
- Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things
- Rejoice always,pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
- God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
- Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
There will be terrible times in these last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Watch that you are not deceived. Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day [the Day of the Lord] will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction [the Antichrist]. I would say we are well into the rebellion, the falling away from God; the Antichrist though has not yet been revealed.
The Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. We will all be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
Remember Jesus’ words on the last page of the Bible:
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
“Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come Lord Jesus.
