Ready
“Be … ready” (Matthew 24:44).
Please regard this as a personal appeal! Rest assured you must meet God. Are you ready? In comparison to this question all others sink into utter insignificance and before it all others problems and dilemmas pale.
You may be a brilliant student, a good worker, healthy in body and mind; you may be religious and respected by your friends and family. But there is a solemn unanswered question raised by the Lord when He was here on earth. It is just this: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26).
To be ready to meet God requires more than material success, more than good health, and more than religion and respectability. It requires God’s salvation through the Lord Jesus based on the work of Calvary and the blood of Christ.
Are you ready? Can you say, “Yes I am!” with a glad confidence? Have you experienced “repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21)?
