"Behold I am coming as a thief, Blessed is he who watches......" (Revelation 16:15)
A warning for all people: One day each of us will meet God face to face to account for what we have done. This is the most important appointment of life!
I-We must meet God - God does not give empty warning! After death, judgment! We must give an account. No one will escape the final encounter with God. Jesus will look at how we have handled gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities. God will determine whether or not we have been faithful to His instructions. We must all appear before the judgment seat.
II-We must prepare to meet God - Some mistakenly feel they're ready. It is wrong to say that I am prepared because I am born of Christian nation, and Christian family. God teaches us these preparations:
1. PREPARE BY CONFESSING YOUR SINS. Repentance must come before a person can have true faith in Jesus Christ.
2. WE MUST DENOUNCE WORLD'S ATTRACTIVE SINFUL TEMPTATIONS AND HARMFUL ATTITUDES!
3. WE MUST NOT BE AFRAID TO TELL ABOUT CHRIST.
4.WE MUST ENDURE WITH OUR FAITH AND NOT BE SURPRISED BY PERSECUTUIONS.
5. WE MUST BE MORALLY ALERT!
6. WE MUST BE OBEDIENT TO GOD IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE.
7. WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE MOTIVATED TO SERVE GOD.
8. WE SHOULD STUDY GOD'S WORD.
(From Rev. Teofilito A. Rufon's Messages at Odiongan Baptist Church Incorporated Sunday Worship Service)
