"Eagerly Awaiting the Lord Jesus Christ"

“Eagerly Awaiting the Lord Jesus Christ”

 

Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.   He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.        1 Corinthians 1:7-8

 

In the Apostle Paul’s letter, to the TRUE SANCTIFIED BELIEVERS, in the city of Corinth, he encourages them to use the SPIRITUAL GIFTS that the Lord has blessed them with, through the power of His Holy Spirit.

 

They are to use them as they EAGERLY WAIT for the Lord Jesus Christ to RETURN.  He will KEEP them FIRM to the END.   This means that He will KEEP them STEADFAST in their FAITH until the END of the AGE.   God will ENCOURAGE and ENABLE them to STAND STRONG and not waiver in their FAITHFULNESS.  To STAY CLOSE to Him, as the sheep do to the Shepherd.   And when they do this they will be BLAMELESS on the day that the Lord Jesus Christ RETURNS.  

 

These words of ENCOURAGEMENT, is also APPLICABLE to the TRUE SANCTIFIED BELIEVERS of this DAY and AGE.  Are you using your SPIRITUAL GIFTS to further the cause of Jesus Christ?  And while you are using them, are you EAGERLY AWAITING His return?   Are you STANDING FIRM in your FAITH, so that you might be found BLAMELESS, when He RETURNS? 

 

And if you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are NOT EAGERLY AWAITING the Lord Jesus Christ, and you have NO SPIRITUAL GIFTS, nor will you be found BLAMELESS.  But you will be found GUILTY and will be sentenced to an ETERNITY in Hell with ALL of its HORRORS, and with NO WAY OF ESCAPE.   You MUST TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him, and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL of your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU, before God.   Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and become a TRUE SANCTIFIED BELIEVER, who is EAGERLY AWAITING the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
