There is a growing conviction on the part of earnest Christians all the world over that the second advent of our Lord Jesus Christ is near at hand. Moreover, there is a general feeling in the world apart from Christianity altogether, that the world's affairs are in the melting pot and that extraordinary events lie before us. How graphically true are the words of Scripture: "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth." Luke 21:2626Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:26).
The fact is, this world must go from bad to worse just in proportion as the world gives up God. And the only way to get right with God is through the Lord Jesus Christ. He must be known first as Savior.
"Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." 1 Peter 3:1818For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (1 Peter 3:18). There is no other way to God save through Christ.
Reader, if the Lord were to come right now, would you welcome Him? Intensely solemn are the words of Scripture: "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha." 1 Cor. 16:2222If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. (1 Corinthians 16:22).
Are you ready for that coming? He will come quickly. He may come today.
"For none can gain admission there,
To that bright world above,
But they who in the Lord believe,
And know a Savior's love.”
"Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according
to His mercy He saved us."
