In Day of the Lord, Jesus Christ, Repentance on September 9, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Jesus Christ our Lord will come as a thief in the night
“Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”
(Revelation 3:3)

The Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
(2 Peter 3:9-10)

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-2)

The Day of the Lord shall come as a destruction from the Almighty
“Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.”
(Isaiah 13:6)

“Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.”
(Isaiah 13:13)

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.”
(Joel 2:31)

“Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.”
(Amos 5:18)

The Day of the Lord shall destroy the sinners
“Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.”
(Isaiah 13:9)

The Day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty
“For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:”
(Isaiah 2:12)

The Day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen (idolaters)
“For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.”
(Obadiah 1:15)

“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.”
(Zephaniah 1:14-18)

Before the Day of the Lord’s anger come – Repent and be converted!

Seek the Lord Jesus, seek righteousness, seek meekness
“Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.
Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.”
(Zephaniah 2:2-3)

Call on the Name of the Lord Jesus – be saved!
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Repent and be converted!
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.”
(Acts 3:19)

God Commands All People To Repent!

In Commandment, God, Repentance on September 9, 2009 at 1:13 am

God does not dwell in human temples – Repent!
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
(Acts 17:24-25)

God wants all people to seek Him – Repent!
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”
(Acts 17:26-28)

God is not an idol made of gold, silver, or stone – Repent!
“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”
(Acts 17:29-30)

God will judge the world in righteousness by Jesus Christ – Repent!
“Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
(Acts 17:31)

Be Converted and Be Saved!

In Conversion, Salvation on September 8, 2009 at 7:35 pm

“Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”
(James 5:19-20)

Do you have faith in God but err from the truth?

Be Converted! Learn from Lord Jesus Christ’s reminder to Simon Peter:

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”
(Luke 22:31-32)

Remember: Jesus Christ our Lord prays for His brothers so that their faith will not fail. If you know that you’re a Christian, believe that Jesus prays for you and He prays for your faith to thrive. When you know that you’re converted – your eyes, ears, and heart are open and are able to understand the truth of God – from this time forth, strengthen your brothers in Christ.

Are you a sinner whose soul is dying because of your sins?

Be Converted! Do not be like this wicked generation! Do not lose your own soul!

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
(Mark 8:36-37)

“Save yourselves from this untoward generation.”
(Acts 2:40)

Be Saved! The Saviour Jesus Christ seeks for sinners who will be converted.

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
(Luke 19:10)

Be Saved! Call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Repent!

Jesus Christ said: “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
(John 10:9)

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
(Acts 2:21)

“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
(Acts 2:38-39)
