The Lord’s Second Coming
The Lord Will Return
Prophetic Art by James Nesbit
The Bible is very clear that The Lord Jesus will be returning to this earth and in fact we are commanded to watch for and be constantly alert to this fact. As the world increasingly spins out of control it is important to remember what God’s Word says about our attitude. First, we must without any reservation believe that Christ will come for us as He promised. Next we look to Scripture for our direct instructions as we wait for our Lord to come for us. We have the blessed assurance that what the Bible tells us will come to pass and we must follow its instructions to achieve its blessings. Therefore,
1. BELIEVERS SHOULD BE WATCHFUL AND ALERT (Matthew 24:42-44; Mark 13:33-37: Luke 12:35-40; 1 Thessalonians 4:4-6; Revelation 16:15)
2. BELIEVERS SHOULD BE MOTIVATED TO GODLY LIVING (Matthew 24:45-51; 1 Peter 31:13-15; 2 Peter 3:11-14; 1 John 2:28)
3. BELIEVERS SHOULD CONSIDER HIS COMING VERY SOON (Romans 13:11-12; Philippians 4:5; James 5:8-9; 1 Peter 4:7)
4. BELIEVERS SHOULD EAGERLY AWAIT IT (1 Corinthians 1:7; Phil 3:20; Titus 2:11-13)
5. BELIEVERS SHOULD ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER (Romans 8:23-25; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
6. BELIEVER SHOULD LONG FOR IT (2 Timothy 4:8; 2 Peter 3:12; Revelation 22:20)
7. BELIEVERS SHOULD PERSEVERE (Matthew 24:12-13; 1 Corinthians 1:7-9; 2 Thessalonians 3:5; 1 Timothy 6:12-14; James 5:7-8)
