Soundly Safe

Zephaniah 2:3

Beg the LORD to save you—all you who are humble, all

you who uphold justice.  Walk humbly and do what is

right.  Perhaps even yet the LORD will protect you from

His anger on that day of destruction.  (NLT)

    Those of us who believe that God's Word is literal and true, know that the LORD is going to put an end to the evil in this world and destroy all godless people.  We also know that we are living in the “Last Days.”  We know that the One who saved us is going to meet His Church in the sky to usher us into the present Heaven, where we will celebrate the Great Wedding Feast—the final union between the Church (the bride) and the Jesus Christ (the Bride Groom).  King Jesus will rescue His bride from the wrath of God.  The death and devastation brought on by God's mighty wrath will be so horrible that many will want to die, but can't.  The suffering of those who refuse Christ Jesus will be like never before in the history of mankind.  What the Bible tells of the Final Days of God's Wrath will seem mild when it is all said and done. But we have reason to praise and thank God, because He has made a Way for anyone to escape the heat that is about to come upon this wicked world; something you would be wise to avoid at all cost.

     The Church of Jesus Christ, is not a building where people gather once a week so they can feel good about themselves in spite of their sin.  It is not an organization or corporation that takes your money and deals in justification.  The Church, my friends, is made up of true believers who have been born again as the adopted children of the Living God.  They are sinful people who recognize their need for the Savior.  They are people who were once lost in the darkness of this evil world, but have found the Way out. They are repentant sinners that have sacrificed their old lives of sin for a life of righteous living. They are being made a new creation in Messiah Jesus.  They are people who were once deceived but now they know the Truth that has set them free from the power of sin and the fear of death.  If you have made the decision to live in Messiah Jesus, He is living in you and your life is now on a sound foundation and your salvation is safely in His hands.

                                    A Whisper of Hope

Just ask, dear child...and I will save you from the destruction that is immanent for those who deny Me.  Most people in this world disbelieve in the wrath of God to come, because they do not know Me.  So they continue to live in darkness, loving their sin more than their Savior.  Do not follow suit!

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9

And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted

 and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from Heaven. 

He will come with His mighty angels, in flaming fire, bring-

ing judgment on those who don't know God and on those who

refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus.  They will be

punished with everlasting destruction, forever separated from

the Lord and from His glorious power.  (NLT)  

                Return O LORD, deliver me!  

        Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!
