CONCLUSION…

One day, when we stand in the presence of our Lord and Saviour, we are going to finally see and understand that it truly was worth it all to have loved, and served, and to have lived for the One who so loved us and gave Himself for us!!

One day, the “Day of the Lord” will come...and as born again children of God, let’s indeed expect it to come and let’s not only look for it but let us long for that glorious day when all things will be made new!

And until that day comes, let’s remain faithful and true unto the One who has saved us so as to let the world know that God really does love them and that He is not willing that any of them should perish and die without Hope, but that all should come to repentance and be saved before that great and terrible day of the Lord shall come!



Invitation:

Child of God, let me ask you one last time…are you living for Eternity or are you simply living for the temporal time of Today?? What preparations have you made for when you stand before God one day?? Are you laying up treasures in Heaven or are you trying to store up treasures here on Earth which one day will be all burned up, and you are literally left with no rewards whatsoever?

The fact that scoffers have indeed come, and that our world today literally seems to have turned away from any and all righteous living whatsoever, should make us to understand…Jesus IS coming again, even as He said…and it could be TODAY!!

Don’t let the scoffers and false teachers and present day circumstances cause you to turn away from serving God and from living godly in a wicked and godless world! Instead, let it provoke you to live righteously…to live holy unto the Lord…to live for ETERNITY instead of just living for today!


And then perhaps you are listening to this lesson today and you do not yet know Jesus as your own personal Saviour, we want you to know that we love you today, and we want you to know that God loves you today!

God’s desire is for you to be saved…so how will you respond to God’s desire today??

If you are not certain of your salvation, you can be today! Why not repent of your sin and be saved today?? For the day of the Lord will come…and it could even be today!
