Is There a Better Word Than Wow?

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:14

Reading:

2 Thessalonians 2

How does “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” affect my life?

“Let no man deceive you by any means” — what am I doing to implement that?

Do I have “the love of the truth”?

In what do I find pleasure, enjoyment, and/or entertainment?

By what means does the “sanctification of the Spirit” express itself through me?

“Stand fast, and hold” — how am I doing?

Such good things to enjoy and live by in verses 16 and 17! Do I?

“Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace” (16).

“Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work” (17).

[The Scriptures say in 2 Thessalonians 2:10 -- Because they received not the love of the truth]
from 2 Thessalonians 2:10

He Shall Come!

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.

Matthew 25:31

Matthew 25:31-46

Why am I given this sneak peek and advance notice now?

Among whom do I live: sheep or goats?

What drives my compassion?

How aware am I of another’s needs?

Am I ever allowed to ignore another’s needs?

Which is my standard: doing good or not doing bad?

Which eternal destiny am I choosing?

“And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left” (Matthew 25:33).

We have been forewarned and none of us shall be exempted. I have been told ahead of time about a day and an occasion that no one shall avoid: Judgment Day. God in His grace has also told me the measure that shall be held up to us.

Note to self: Let the Spirit of God search out your heart to show you how you measure up so far. Allow Him to help you make necessary adjustments. Renew your commitment to live today in light of That Day.
