To Be READY For HIS RETURN:

You must presently, willfully and actively be TRUSTING the LORD Jesus Christ, and HIM ONLY, for everything pertaining to this life and the life hereafter.

• "Jesus saith unto him, I AM The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6).

You must presently, willfully and actively be FREE from sinning.

• "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18).
  
   
• "Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me" (Proverbs 1:28).
  
   
• "He that turneth away his ear from hearing The Law, even his prayer shall be abomination" (Proverbs 28:9).
  
   
• "And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood" (Isaiah. 1:15).
  
   
• "If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1John 1:9).
  
   
• "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13).

You must presently, willfully and actively believe that He will KEEP you from sinning.

The test of knowing if your "love" for Him is self-deceived or REAL, can be conclusively proved by Scripture. If you LOVE Him-- you will OBEY Him. If you will not obey Him-- you do not love Him.

to the Only Wise God our Saviour, be Glory and Majesty, Dominion and Power,
both now and for ever. Amen"
(Jude 24, 25)
