Maranatha!

In Matthew 24, Jesus was asked by his disciples what shall be the sign of your coming and the end of the world? Part of his answer talked of the fact that many shall be offended and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another, and many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many. He also said that because iniquity would abound, the love of many would grow cold, but those who would endure until the end would be saved. There is much coming on the face of the earth even through the church that is intended to deceive the saints. Teachings on good works for salvation, saving mother earth for the Lord, embracing those of all religions while working together for the good of mankind. Jesus gave us our mandate to go into all the world and make disciples. We have also been instructed that light and dark have no fellowship and that we aren't to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. God would that all be saved, but all won't be saved for to be saved they have to receive Jesus as Savior, Lord, and God. Mankind is so independent that we want to have the final say so on how we will get to heaven. The Bible clearly states that no man comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Jesus is coming soon so let's be alert to the snares of the enemy. Let's stay in the word and live the word and keep our hearts right with the Lord and our fellowman. Maranatha!
