READY TO GO
Titus 2:12-13 And we are
instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with
self-control, right conduct, and devotion to God, while we look forward to that
wonderful event when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will
be revealed. NLT
It is very clear from
God, we must turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. You can’t turn from what you are not
facing. So, when we are confronted with
sinful temptations, we don’t linger in front of it, we turn away from it and
get away from it as soon as we can.
We live in a very evil
world. It takes a lot of self-control to
stay right with God. We must want to be
right with God more than we do to enjoy the pleasures of sin. The only way we can do that is to be devoted
to God. We must seek out God, spend time
alone with Him, and work on establishing a love relationship with Him. We must see Him as our most valuable element
in our lives. We love Him with all our
hearts, minds, and souls.
When the Lord is our
focus, we develop a longing to be with Him.
We begin to share the Apostle Paul’s passion for Christ. We will strain with all we have to not mess
up, to make sure we will go and be with the Lord when we die.
We only know the Lord
a little bit now. When we are with Him
in heaven, we will know Him fully. His
glory fills heaven. There is no sin or
its effects in heaven. For the child of
God, heaven indeed is a glorious place filled with His glory and grace.
Jesus is coming
soon. For the redeemed, it is the most
anticipated event yet to come.
Expectation fills the air. Being
ready to go home with the Lord is our passion.
The King is coming and none too soon.
There’s a longing in the soul for that day in which Christ will be
revealed for all to see.
Turn away from evil,
be devoted to the Lord in all things, live godly lives ready for the Lord to
come. When you do, you will be ready to
go.
