Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us — eternal life. I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. (1 John 2:18-28 ESV)
What are you going to do when Jesus comes back?
Have you ever been asked the question, “is your house ready for a visit from God?” Would you want Him to see your home as it is? Would you want to hide magazines or movies or pit stuff I your closets or dresser drawers and not let Him look in them? Does any of this help because He knows everything and goes with you every where you go….
When Jesus comes back will you hide in the back corner and not want to see Him ashamed that you didn’t get it right? Or will you walk up to Him confident that you got it right?
I hope I will run to Him, ashamed of what I have done, but confident that it is not about how I did it, but because I am His child.
