Jesus is coming soon, are you saved?

We have all behaved in ways we’d rather forget. We have ignored deadlines at work, assignments in class, and paying every bill on time. We have disobeyed parents and ignored repeated warnings from authority figures. Some have strayed from their spouse, either in their thought life or through covert action. Many of us have looked left and right…to ensure the coast was clear of traffic and of course police cars before hurrying through that yellow light. All of us haven’t done all of these things, but we’ve all done some of them. No one has clean record in all areas of life.
We can beat the odds and seemingly get away with doing wrong for awhile, but before too long….the consequences of disobedience will catch up with us. Thinking of the scenarios mentioned earlier: Your boss will eventually ask you for results to justify your wages. Creditors will want to be paid in full for money you’ve borrowed. Dad or mom will get home and deal with misbehavior. Your professor will demand your paper is turned in on it’s due date. Your spouse may or may not find you out now, but the truth will surface one day. In all likelihood….the red & blue lights will shine and the siren will sound as you speed through the yellow light only to receive a hefty fine.
Reading these scenarios will cause some readers to give pause and consider their actions. Others may feel like they always beat the system and get away with it. Still more of us may feel remorse, regrets, guilt, and even deep sorrow. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how we feel, it only matters how we’ve dealt with a lifetime of wrongdoing. One day, we will all be judged for our thoughts, actions, and motives before a holy God. How will you deal with this now, in light of the fact that Jesus is coming soon. The only question that will matter then is: Are you saved?
Romans 14:11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
I am one among many thousands of Bible teachers, Evangelists, and other Christians who believe we are in the time just prior to the Lord’s return. Scores of events are happening geopolitically, economically, and culturally that point to His soon return. Prophecy is being fulfilled. One look around the world and especially in the Middle East should tell you, this world is on the brink. Many countries are on the verge of economic collapse which could lead to a global economic meltdown. Culturally there are almost no boundaries. So called “same sex marriage” is now the law of the land in many places. Pornography and human trafficking are rampant.
