Proverbs 1:20-23
“20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in
the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the
openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my
spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
Romans 2:11-16
“11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
Romans 4:1-8
“1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
“1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”
So many of God’s people are worried about the coming of the Antichrist or the coming of the time of Great Tribulation. But God gives His people comfort concerning these matters. We are instructed by God Himself to watch for the coming of the Son of God in the clouds as He comes as the Bridegroom to call His bride and her family out of the world and to begin preparing for the wedding. We are told to comfort ourselves and to edify one another with these words. For the child of God, the end of days is nothing to fear but rather a time to look forward to and to rejoice in. Yet there are those fearmongers out there who use scare tactics to persuade the unsaved of this world to make a false profession based on fear of evil rather than the fear of God. These false prophets keep many of God’s own people bound in fear of the things of this old world while neglecting to preach of the Great Comforter our Lord promised.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
