What is our message? – Prepare to meet God
Amos 4:12
“Be Prepared”, “Be in a state of readiness”
Degrees of preparation:
None
– Ps 14:1, 53:1 “The fool… No God!” would he prepare to meet a God that, in his mind, does not exist?
Luke 12:20 “This night you die!”
– Some things in life are beyond our ability to prepare for, salvation is NOT one of them!
– Luke 13:3 “The tower of Siloam fell”
Some – “the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry”
(Mat 25 Bride’s maids) , Mat 24:37-44; Gen 7; (Acts 1:7 exact date & time unknown)
We may try hard to plan for the future, but unexpected events can ruin everything.
Maybe we cannot or will not prepare.
Completely – God’s Gift Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21; Rom 10:13 Everyone, Shall, Saved
WHY! Judgment is coming and you could be spared!
Heb 9:27 Mat 25:1-13
2 Peter 3:4 “I do not believe it, all things continue”
Luke 13:3 “The tower of Siloam fell”
