Jesus warns about things we need to respond to. Jesus didn't
waste any words. It isn't negative to soberly agree with Jesus about what
must happen. Getting ready now will make all the difference in the world
for you and your family as the intensity of world events continues to increase.
Matthew 24:7-14 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various
places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9
"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you
will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. 10 And then many
will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11
Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And
this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to
all the nations, and then the end will come.

1 Peter 1:14-16 as obedient children, not conforming
yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but
as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16
because it is written, "BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."
You are picking your forever
capacity to be near God right now...today...even this minute. God says
"Be Holy as I am Holy" as an invitation to be as near to Himself as
possible forever. Jesus paid for you to go all the way near the Father forever,
but you must participate with Him in that process.
The process is called
"justification, sanctification, and glorification". You can, if you
want to, get saved "all the way," but do you want it? Do you want to
be near Him forever?
Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always
obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out
your own salvation with fear and trembling;
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 23 Now
may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole
spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will
do it.

Forever is a long time.
We don’t want to make forever decisions based on our own logic, or
anecdotal information we learned from others trying to comfort us. We want to make forever decisions with
information directly from the author of forever. Does regret exist in heaven? Ask Jesus! Matthew 5:19 Whoever therefore
breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be
called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven. 1 Corinthians 3:11-16 For no other foundation can
anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the
Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will
test each one's work, of what sort it is.
14
If anyone's work which he has built on it
endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's
work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as
through fire. 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of
God and that the Spirit of God dwells in
you? 2 John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those
things we worked for, but that we may
receive a full reward. Revelation 22:12-13 "And
behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and
the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Revelation 3:11 Behold,
I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. Revelation 21:1-4 Now I saw a new heaven and a
new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there
was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the
holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard
a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and
they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no
more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former
things have passed away."

Christ is a derivation of the Greek word “Kristos” or “anointed
one.”
There are many false christs in our hour, and many false prophets singing the
praises of the false christs. Many , including me, have fallen into this spirit, the spirit of the age, from time to time. We all want a solution. Jesus is the only solution. Repentance from the spirit of the age is necessary. Some, though, will not repent, and will dig their heels into man-based solutions and man-based strength. Jesus
promised this would be the case. Do you
have eyes to see it?
Matthew 24:22-25 And unless those days were shortened, no
flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. 23 "Then
if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. 24 For
false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to
deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

It is really important to see the rewards in heaven
as Jesus does, not as man does. It isn't a race to the top, in an earthly
arrogant sense...no...it is a race to the bottom...like Jesus:
Phillippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who,
being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but
made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and
coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance
as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,
even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
Matthew 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these
commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of
heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.
The King of Glory and His Kingdom
A Psalm of David.
24 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.
3 Who may
ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face. Selah
7 Lift up
your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah
