The Culture Before Christ's Return
Explore the importance of being right with God as illustrated in the book of Luke, chapter 17. The righteous will be taken and the unrighteous will face consequences for their actions. Two people will be working together; one taken and the other left. This underscores the urgency of preparing for Jesus' return, as judgment can come unexpectedly. The message encourages belief in Jesus as the only way to Heaven and highlights that He is advocating for believers. Reflect on the spiritual and social climate before Christ's return, marked by false prophets, embracing wickedness, and a desensitized society. Drawing parallels with the days of Noah and Lot, there will be rampant wickedness, yet life will continue as normal for many. The faithful will need to remain strong, diligent, and proactive in their faith, ensuring personal devotion to God's word and prayer. The urgency to share the message of salvation is emphasized, as well as the assurance that God will rescue the righteous before bringing judgment upon the earth.
