Supernatual: The End

Be ready! The end is near. It really doesn’t mat­ter as much regard­ing the end of days as much as how we live today.

We hear a lot lately about how every­thing is falling apart, how the world is com­ing apart. The whole Dec 21, 2012 thing. There is a plan­e­tary align­ment with the sun and the galatic equanox which could the­o­ret­i­cally cause a whole bunch of prob­lems. Don’t spend a lot of money in Dec 2012 for Christmas.

People have been set­ting dates through­out time for the end of time. But Matt 24:35–36 [show]Matthew 24:35–36 [35]Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. [36]“But con­cern­ing that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. (ESV)
says no one knows when the end will come. It will come but only the Father knows.

James 4:14–15 [show]James 4:14–15 [14]yet you do not know what tomor­row will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a lit­tle time and then van­ishes. [15]Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” (ESV)
says that we need to live today and not worry about tommorow.

Our hope is that the end of times is really the begin­ning for Christ will come and we shall live eter­nally with Him. We will not per­ish by what­ever comes in the future for “who­ever believes in Him will not per­ish but have eter­nal life.” John 3:16 [show]John 3:16 [16]“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that who­ever believes in him should not per­ish but have eter­nal life. (ESV)

We should not live in fear. God is in con­trol. We should live in hope and trust. Matt 24:13 [show]Matthew 24:13 [13]But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (ESV)
The one who stands firm will be saved. How?

• Power of God’s Word Hebrews 4:12 [show]Hebrews 4:12 [12]For the word of God is liv­ing and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, pierc­ing to the divi­sion of soul and of spirit, of joints and of mar­row, and dis­cern­ing the thoughts and inten­tions of the heart. (ESV)
  
• Daily Prayer Phil 4:6–7 [show]Philippians 4:6–7 [6]do not be anx­ious about any­thing, but in every­thing by prayer and sup­pli­ca­tion with thanks­giv­ing let your requests be made known to God. [7]And the peace of God, which sur­passes all under­stand­ing, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (ESV)
  
  • Confess ones sins
