Are You Ready?
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
Let me ask you a question. “If Jesus came today, are you ready?” Has there been a moment in your life when you turned from sin and placed your faith in Christ? Have you given your life to Christ? Are you ready for Christ’s return? If it happened today, are you ready?
If you are depending upon, “I took communion last month,” you are not ready. If you are counting on, “I grew up going to Sunday School,” you are not ready. You might say, “I'm a member of the church.” If that is where your hope is based, you are not ready to go. You could say, “I was sprinkled,” or “I even got dunked.” If that is your focus, you are not ready. Sadly, you will be left behind.
This is the correct answer. You know you are ready if there has been a moment in your life when there has come a conviction of your personal sin, a sense of separateness from God. Because of that sin and brokenness in your heart, because of that rebellion; there came a moment when you fell at the feet of Jesus and asked Him to come inside your life. You asked Him to forgive you of all your sin and take control of your life. If you have had a moment like that, you are ready! Accordingly, let me ask the all-important question. “Are you ready?”

Thank you so so much for the daily reminders. They are truly appreciated.
Praise the Lord. I am ready!! To GOD BE THE GLORY.
Yes,I am ready for Jesus to come for me
I’m ready and praising Jesus! I’m praying for lost family and friends to have their hearts prepared to hear the Good News, repent and ask Jesus to be their Lord and Savior.
I pray that I will be ready but I am not sure, it's a cycle that I travel day by day. My prayer would be loved by the Lord and he saves me.
