Will you be ready for the
ultimate victory for the believer in Christ?
Ready or not here He comes.
Scripture Text:
1Cor 15:51 Listen, I tell
you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed 52 in a
flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For
the perishable must clothe itself
with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable
has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then
the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up
in victory." 55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is
your sting?" 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the
law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ. 58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that
your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Ultimate Victory will come
quickly. You must be ready. Jesus is coming again
for His Bride. After the Jewish
groom had made an agreement for the bride, He would go to prepare her a place
to celebrate the marriage and prepare a place to live.
Then when the work was finished He would come again to receive his
wife. Whether it was noon or
night the groom would come again to get his bride.
Christ is our groom and we are the bride.
He is coming for us. Will
you be ready if He comes right now?
Ultimate Victory will
produce a change in the born again. You
must be born again.
Mortal will be become immortal. You
will be prepared for eternal life in a twinkling of an eye.
You will be transformed. Christians
are the original transformers.
Ultimate Victory will be
the defeat of death. You must be
alive in Christ, so that you will be
victorious over death. Death is
the ultimate enemy that will one day be defeated. Because Adam disobeyed God in the garden of Eden, we all have
sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 says, The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ultimate Victory will be
the fulfillment of Scripture prophecy. You
must believe. Do
you believe that the scriptures are going to come true?
Do you believe that the scriptures will be fulfilled?
Ultimate Victory is
guaranteed through Jesus Christ our Lord.
You must be His. Jesus
who lived and died and rose from the dead is our guarantee of eternal life and
our own resurrection to life. If
He is yours then you are his. He
will raise you from the dead.
Ultimate Victory is our
present possession. You must be
thankful to God who gives it. We
know, We know, We know that we will live again.
Have hope and believe in the Living Lord of Life.
Ultimate Victory is our
reason for living for the Lord. You
must be steady in service. He
says be strong and steady, and always enthusiastic about the Lord’s work for
you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
Ultimate victory is our motivation for living and serving the only,
true living God. Are you ready?
Here He comes.
