During these last days, Christians should be aware of what is happening around them and some of what is to come; By knowing certain future events helps us keep everything in perspective and to be better prepared to meet Jesus Christ.

"Apostasy " is a word that refers to the great falling away of those who once believed in Jesus Christ but chose to deny Him and follow after their beliefs, doctrines of men, and loved sin over obeying and following Jesus Christ or who were just lukewarm in their faith towards God.

Apostasy is when a person departs from the Christian faith and never repents or follows after Jesus Christ again in a sincere manner.

1 TIM 4:1,2 But the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

4:2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars, seared in their own conscience, as with a branding iron.

2 THES 2:1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to Him,

2:2 that you may not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

There will be soon a great tribulation of distress, trouble, and affliction, like never before seen by mankind; wars, famine, earthquakes, and persecutions.

Christians have different views when the great tribulation will take place, and vary also in beliefs if or not Christians will actually go through any tribulation.

Christians may go through some tribulation as God has allowed throughout history, but we'll never receive the wrath of God, rather all Christians will be raptured up to be with Jesus Christ.

In any event, we all can trust God that in life, trials or death, that God would be glorified, and that God would use us as a witness to bring many to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and further more our eternal rewards and immortality are always secure in Him.

Nothing shall ever seperate us from the love of Christ.

MATTHEW 24:4-14 And Jesus answered and said to them, " See to it,that no one misleads you.

24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, " I am the Christ," and will mislead many.

24:6 And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for these things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

24:7 For nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famine and earthquakes.

24:8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

24:9 Then they will deliver you to TRIBULATION, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name.

24:10 And at that time many will fall away and will deliver up one another and hate one another.

24:11 And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many.

24:12 And because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

24:13 But the one who endures to the end, he shall be sved.

24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.

MAT 24:21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.

24:22 And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.

JOHN 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

ROMANS 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword ?

8:36 Just as it written, " For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer, through Him who loved us.

8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to seperate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

There are many false christs or antichrists, but there is also The antichrist, who is to come, and that person will be a manifestation of Satan himself, and a false representation of Jesus Christ.

The antichrist will oppose Jesus Christ and set himself above every so called god.

No one knows who the antichrist is, however, God's word declares that he will set himself up in God's temple and declare himself god, sometime in the near future. The antichrist is also known as the ' Abmination of Desolation ', The Man of Lawlessness ', and ' The Son of Destruction ', etc...

2 THES 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, sp that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being god.

2 THES 2:8 And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming.

2:9 that is the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan with all power and signs and false wonders.

MAT 24:15 Therefore when you see the Abomination of Desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, ( See DAN 9:20-27 )

Jesus Christ arose from the dead, alive, two thousand years ago and ascended into Heaven in a glorified body and will return one day soon; this is called the second coming of Christ. No one knows the exact time when Jesus Christ will return only God the Father in Heaven. When Jesus Christ returns, the dead in Christ, will arise from the dead ( Christians, who have already physically died ) and we who are still living will be caught up in the air to meet the Lord. This is known as the rapture.

MARK 13:24-27 But in those days, after the tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

And then they will see the Son of Man ( Jesus ) coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

And then He will send forth the angels and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth, to the farthest end of heaven.

MATTHEW 24:42 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

MATTHEW 24:44 For this reason you should be ready too; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

REVELATION 19:11-16 And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True and in righteousness He judges and wages war.

And His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself.

And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean were following Him on white horses.

And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.

And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

MATTHEW 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

MATTHEW 24:36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

Every Christian who has previously died and who dies before Jesus Christ returns, will literally rise from the grave alive on the day when Jesus Christ returns, this is called ' the resurrection of the believers. '

At the very moment Jesus Christ returns from heaven, there will be a shout from an archangel, and along with a trumpet of God, all Christians who have died, will rise alive from the dead, and receive a glorified body that is able to enter into heaven.

1 THES 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

1 CORIN 15:50-53 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

LUKE 14:14 And you will be blessed; for they cannot recompense you, for you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

JOHN 11:23 Jesus said unto her, Your brother will rise again.

11:24 Martha said unto Him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

11:25 Jesus said unto her, " I am the resurrection, and the life; he who believes in Me, though he were dead, yet he shall live. "

REV 20:4 And I saw the thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshipped the beast or his image and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

The Rapture is when all believers in Christ are taken up into the air to meet the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Rapture of all the Christians both living and dead will take place sometime when Jesus Christ returns. No one knows exactly when it will truly happen; So Christians should just be prepared to meet the Lord at any time, rather then guess when He will come.

1 THES 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

1 THES 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-4 Now we request you, brethren with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to Him,

2:2 that you may not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Armageddon is the final battle between the forces of good (God) and evil (satan).

The battle will most likely take place in the Valley of Jezreel, and the southern edge of the Plain of Esdraelon at the foot of Mount Megiddo.

God will manifest His glorious power through Jesus Christ and have victory over His evil enemies.

REV 16:13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs.

16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.

16:15 " Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his garments, lest he walk about naked and men see his shame."

16:16 And they gathered them together to the place which is called Har-Magedon. ( Armageddon.)

God will pour out His wrath in the last days upon all who reject His love and saving grace through Jesus Christ, because they have chosen to remain in their sinful ways and did not want to be reconciled back into good fellowship with God.

God is a merciful and loving God, and hopes none would perish, however He is also a very just God and gives every man and woman a free will.

Any sincere believer and follower of Jesus Christ will never experience God's wrath because God forgives all their sins.

The wrath of God will bring both physical and spiritual destruction to all those who choose not to repent and to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

JOHN 3:36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

REV 6:15 And the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

6:16 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks,' Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the lamb.

6:17 for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand ?

REV 15:7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

REV 16:1-12 Read and study entire verses

Sometime after the battle of Armageddon Satan will be bound for a thousand years while Jesus rules and reigns here on earth.

REV 20:1 And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

20:2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

20:3 and threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed after these things he must be released for a short time.

REV 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has part in the first resurrection, over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

REV 20:7 And when the thousand years are completed Satan will be released from his prison

20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.

20:9 and they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.

REV 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast, and the false prophet are also and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

God is a righteous and just God and shows no partiality. God will bring every word and deed into judgment one day. Many of us have been mistreated by others with abuse, lies, crimes of violence and people who stole from us; and many of these people often seem to get away with the wicked things that they do. Yet God assures us " Vengeance is mine says God, I will repay."

Everyone of us also has done evil in the sight of God and deserves to be condemned, but God has made a way through Jesus Christ that we would not come into the wrathful judgment of God.

God's judgment and wrath will be poured out on all those who deliberately continue on in their wicked ways.

God is also a merciful God and desires not to bring wrathful judgment on anyone, hoping all would repent and change their ways.

As Christians, if we believe, confess, and follow Jesus Christ by a sincere faith, we will be cleansed by His word and grace and receive forgiveness, and not be condemned in judgment.

We must also be careful not to judge others or we'll be judged.

MATTHEW 7:1-3 Do not judge lest you be judged. For the way you judge, you will be judged and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

JOHN 3:17-19 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.

He who believes in Him is not judged, he who does not believe has been judged already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the judgment that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil."

JOHN 5:22-24 For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, in order that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment but has passed out of death into life.

JOHN 5:25-30 Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live.

5:26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

5:27 and He gave Him authority to execute judgment because He is the Son of Man.

5:28 Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, and those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

5:29 I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just because I do not seek My own will but the will of Him who sent Me."

2 THESS 1:7 ...When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

1:9 And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.

JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST

ROMANS 14:10 -12 But you, why do you judge your brother ? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt ? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God."

For it is written, " As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall give praise to God."

So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God."

2 CORIN 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.

WE SHOULD JUDGE OURSELVES

1 CORIN 11:31,32 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.

JUDGMENT ON WORKS

MATTHEW 25:31-46 But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.

25:32 And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another , as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

25:33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ' Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.'

25:35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave ME drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;

25:36 Naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

25:37 Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ' Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed you, or thirsty, and give you drink ?

25:38 And when did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or naked and clothe You ?

25:39 And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You ?

25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, " Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even to the least of them, you did it unto Me.

25:41 Then He will also say to those on His left, " Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

25:42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;

25:43 I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in ; Naked and you did not clothe Me; Sick and in prison, and you did not visit Me.

25:44 Then they themselves also will answer, saying, ' Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You ?

25:45 Then He will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'

25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

REV 20:11-15

Hell is an already existing place of eternal, unquenchable fire, the place of future punishment for the wicked who choose not to repent and who choose to reject the Love and free gift of salvation of Jesus Christ. It is further describe in the Bible as the Lake of Fire, a place of torment and of outer darkness.

Hell is the final destiny of Satan, all demonic spirits, and all unbelievers, and hypocrites, who have heard the gospel and rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, because they loved their sinful ways more.

" Hades " is one of the terms in the New Testament which is rendered " Hell ".

Hell will be a place of misery, pain, frustration, and anger; Whoever chooses to go to hell will be eternally separated from God and not obtain any of His Blessings. Those who go to hell will have memory, empty sorrow, and unsatisfied thirst.

ANYONE WHO CHOOSES TO SINCERELY REPENT OF THEIR SINS, AT ANY TIME, WILL BE FORGIVEN AND NOT GO TO HELL, BUT TO HEAVEN.

The unrepented wicked ones will eternally suffer the undiluted righteous wrath and justice of God for their prideful wicked words and actions. Hell was originally prepared for Satan and his evil hosts of angels and one day soon Satan and his demons will be bound there forever, never to hurt man again.

MATTHEW 18:8,9 And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire.

And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery hell.

MARK 9:47,48 And if your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell, where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.

REV 20:14,15 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

REV 14:9,10,11 And another angel, a third one, followed them saying with a loud voice, " If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, he will also drink the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in the full strength in the cup of His anger and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb, And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and his image and whoever receives the mark of the of his name.

MATTHEW 22:13,14 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ' For many are called but few are chosen.

MATTHEW 25:30 And cast out the worthless slave into outer darkness, in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MATTHEW 25:45,46 Then He will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.

REV 19:20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

Heaven is the place that all born again Christians will go. It is the Kingdom of God and the name of this city is called The New Jerusalem.

God the Father sits on a throne there and Jesus Christ sits at the right side of the Father. Heaven is an eternal perfect Kingdom which will need no sun but will shine and be enlightened by the Glory of God.

The word " Heaven " in the Bible, is used to describe several different places.

1) The sky or firmament, atmosphere above the earth.

2) The stars and universe/ stellar spaces

3) The dwelling place of God, the Angels, and those of us that are saved by Jesus Christ;

MATTHEW 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

MATTHEW 7:21 Not every one that says to Me, " Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but rather he that does the will of my Father, who is in heaven.

REV 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bribe adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all their tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.

REV 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

REV 21:2 And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, " Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them.

READ REV 21:4-7

REV 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

21:11 having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone of crystal-clear jasper.

READ REV 21:11-27 and REV 22:1-5

Every earthly Kingdom has failed or been destroyed, however the Kingdom of God is at hand, and Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, and His Kingdom will last forever.

As Christians, we have the privilege to enter and live in the Kingdom of God; This is the very place where Jesus Christ will rule and reign throughout eternity. Jesus Christ's first message preached was " Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand."

The Kingdom of God is for the people of all nations, including Hawaiians, Chinese, Tongans, Samoans, Japanese, Blacks, Hispanics, Whites, Indians, and for anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior;

As we accept Jesus as our Lord, through prayer, believing, confessing Him as Lord, and by following Him as Lord, we can spiritually even enter now the Kingdom of God.

JOHN 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

REV 11:15 The seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.

2 PETER 1:4-11 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you make become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, supplement your faith with moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness; and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they will neither render you useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.

Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;

For in this way the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.

MARK 1:15 The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.

PSALM 145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.

LUKE 22:28 And you are those who have stood by Me in My trials;

22:29 and just as My Father has granted Me a Kingdom, I grant you

22:30 That you may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

LUKE 9:62 But Jesus said to him," No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.

Among the most precious and awesome promises from God, that anyone could ever receive is the wonderful gift of ' Eternal Life. '

This is a free gift of spiritual life after death, in a glorified body, for all those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and follow His way by faith, and "eternal life" means, Christians will live forever and ever and ever with God.

It would be totally foolish for anyone to reject or neglect the free gift of eternal life being offered to us by rejecting Jesus as Lord or by not following His way and abuse His grace by continue unrepentive sin.

There is no greater heavenly gift than to come into the presence of God, and spend life eternally in His Love, Joy and goodness.

LUKE 10:25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, " Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life ? And He said to him, " What is written in the law ? How does it read to you ? And he answered and said, " You shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and with all of your soul, and with all of your strength, and with all of your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
