HIS SOON COMING.
Revelation 22:17
“I AM COMING SOON.”
What is the meaning of the word soon?
In Greek, the word ‘TACHT’ suggests a sudden, unexpected or swift arrival rather than a drawn-out process.
In other words, when it happens it will happen quickly.
Many people wonder why Jesus made this statement 2,000 years ago, and why it has not happened yet.
Because God’s perspective of time differs from human perception.
“As with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years.”
Or, to denote that when the event happens, it will be sudden or rapid. It will be fast, without warning.
It’s imminent; it could happen at any moment in time.
So the message to us individually is, we do not know the day of our death, so we should not delay any longer, but live each day in the light of His soon coming.
HE MAY COME TODAY!
So we must keep preparing for eternity and live each day as it is our last.
It is God’s timetable, not ours. He will fulfil His promises, so we must remain faithful, as the Lord puts it,
” BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE YOU A CROWN OF LIFE.”
“HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END, WILL BE SAVED.”
HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM.
This indicates. that Jesus Christ will bring rewards with Him when He returns.
Our greatest reward will be: TO DWELL IN HIS PRESENCE!!
WE WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE
He will give rewards according to our deeds done in the flesh. Romans 2:6 and Revelation 20:12.
God will, in His justice, reward not only the righteous but also punish the wicked.
This does not mean you will lose your Salvation, as your Salvation is by Grace; instead, it highlights the evidence of your works, which reveal your true faith.
No saved person can continue to practice sin deliberately and expect to go to Heaven.
“He who practices sin is the servant of sin.”
“He that covers his sin shall not prosper. He that confesses and forsakes it shall find Mercy.”
Notice that those who are outside the city are the adulterers and sexual immoral people. Those who practice witchcraft, murderers and those who practice telling lies.
These people are not sitting at the gates hoping to enter the city, they are in fact in Hell ‘outside’ the city receiving their wages of sin, which is eternal punishment of death. They are those who have rejected the Gospel.
They are called ‘dogs’ Those who are the unbelievers who have dog- like behaviour.
See 1Corinthians 6:9-11
WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.
He will give to each person what we deserve according to our deeds done in the flesh. Romans 2:6 and…
Revelation 20:12.
Some rewards are incredible crowns.
God in His justice will reward the righteous and punish the wicked.
This does not negate (nullify) our salvation making it ineffective. Because our salvation is by ‘Grace’.
Instead, it highlights the evidence of our works, which reveal our true identity.
Your deeds matter to God, be they small or great; your motives and actions will be evaluated by Christ Himself.
“Even a cup of ‘ice water’ given in His name” will be rewarded.
Matthew 10:42
He notices, faithfulness during the hard times of your life.
He, with all Heaven, rejoices when you lead a soul to experience saving faith.
Soul winners will. Shine as the stars forever and ever.
Read, Daniel 12:2,3.
What an amazing reward! The radiance of His Glory!
God is ever watching you every moment of everyday. He is beside you, encouraging you to persevere, strengthening and empowering you.
He is not looking for your faults or failings ready to condemn you.
He patiently and lovingly urges you on to live out your destiny upon this earth and fulfil His plans for your life.
He can’t wait for the time to hand you your eternal rewards, where He will, in front of all mankind, say…
“WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.”
Amen..
