WE MUST

Christ is coming back!! He is coming back in the same way He was taken up into heaven!! (Acts 1:11) Oh, to await the coming of the gracious Lord! The Lamb of God!!

We must press on toward the goal of the upward call in God!

We must Keep His Kingdom always before our faces, seeking Him to be pure and unspotted from the world! To be found blameless before Him! He has cleansed from sin, pardoned all iniquity for those who are in Him, yet,

We must strive according to His work, which work in us mightily! (Col 1:29)

We must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling! (Phil 2:12)

We must be doing all things without complaining and murmuring that we may be found in Him blameless and harmless, sons of God without rebuke that we could shine as lights in the world!! (Phil2:14-15)

We must hold forth the Word of life, that we might rejoice in the day of Christ, that our running has not been in vain, nor those who discipled us! (Phil 2:16)

We must be bold, for if the Holy Ghost is in us He gives us boldness! It is not of us, but boldness is a fruit of the Spirit, proof that He is in us! Evidence of being with Jesus is boldness! (Acts 4:31)

We must obey not men but rather obey God, in boldness! (Acts 5:29; 1:8; 4:13)

We must Let our conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ, standing fast in one Spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the gospel! (Phil 1:27)

We must not be terrified by our adversaries, for if we run to Christ we will have adversaries! But letting these adversaries be an evident token of salvation and that of God!(Phil 1:28)

We must abide in Him! Remain in Him! Why? That when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming! (1 John 2:28) For if John exhorts us of this, then it must be possible that if we let sin come in and let it keep any part of us from remaining in Him, it is possible to be ashamed before Him at His coming!

We must not compromise!

We must let Him purge us, keep all at the altar before Him, be a living sacrifice! That He might purge us of all sin and keep us unspotted from the world!

We must lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and run with patience the race that is set before us! (Heb 12:1,2)

We must look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith!

We must be found in Him, not having our own righteousness, but the righteousness which is of God by faith! (Phil 3:9)

We must not love our own life!! We must hate our own life! (Luke 14:26)

We must not fall away, for to renew one again unto repentance, it would be crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh, and putting Him to an open shame! For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, were partakers of the Holy Ghost, tasted the good word of God and powers of the world to come, to be renewed again to repentance. (Hebrews 6)

We must continue with one accord in prayer and supplication. (Acts 1:14)

We must not forsake the assembly of ourselves as some do! But instead exhort each other daily! (Heb 10:25)

We must consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works! (Hebrews 10:24)

We must keep ourselves from idols! (1 John 5:21)

We must obey Him, for He will then give you the Holy Ghost! (Acts 5:32)

We must not love with world! (James 4:4) (1 John 2:15-17)

We must rejoice that we are counted worthy to suffer shame for His name! (Acts 5:41)

We must walk in light and have fellowship with one another and love the brethren! (1 John 1:7; 2:10)

Do YOU love these commandments He has given us in His Word or do you find them grevious? (1 John 5:3; Prov 10:8)

Do YOU find the power to walk in them? (Acts 1:8)Or are you powerless and feel, this is what it was like in the biblical days, it's not for us! We are not to just have a form of godliness without the power, for then we would not have the Holy Spirit in us and if we have not the Holy Spirit in us we are not saved. For that which is Spirit is spirit, that which is flesh is flesh. (2 Timothy 3:5; John 3:5; John 7:39)

Christ is coming soon!! And if we does not come back in your lifetime, you will face Him in the next ten, twenty-five, fifty, however many years He grants your life to be. Are you ready? Do you have oil in your lamp? (Mat 25) Do you have your wedding garment? (Mat 22) Have you cried out, cried out, cried out to Jesus? (Mat 20:29-34) Have you been called by Him? (Mark 10:49) Has the Lord received you? (Psalm 49:15; 2 Corinthians 6:17) Has He received you graciously, in which you were able to offer the sacrifice of praise from your heart? (Hosea 14:2) Has the Lord granted you sight, oh blind? (Luke 18:42) Has He opened your eyes from darkness to light? (Acts 26:18)

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
