Living in Anticipation
What if you know that Jesus will return tomorrow? How ready are you to give an account of your life to Him? Would you be scrambling in the last minute to do all you can to renounce accumulated sins and make right all accumulated outstanding "wrongs" before the Lord? Unless it is your daily lifestyle to keep short accounts, chances are you can't do all those in 24 hours.
The question is simple yet so pivotal in questioning the fundamentals of our walk with Christ. It is true that the Bible says that we are justified by our faith in Christ. It is also true the Bible also says that we are saved for good works. These 2 elements are complementing, not mutually exclusive to each other. Christ would never ever suggest that we retain a complacent lifestyle knowing that we will all go to Heaven.
It is so important to adapt a lifestyle that is anticipative to His return. It is a lifestyle of obedience to His Word and is reflective the glory of Jesus Christ. There ought to be such a sense of peace, integrity and love, so outstanding that it attracts people to you so much so that they want to find out your formula to a successful live. When that happens, be ready to share the gospel of Christ. (bible verse).
Our position before the Lord ought to be that we are consistently ready for His return at any one time. How anticipative are you towards His return?
