The sickle is being sharpened to cull the fields of grapes and grain.  What have I done to prep for, plant, water, fertilize, tend and protect the crops in preparation for the great harvest?  Will I be able to rest easy and not be forced to offer the Lord explanation for my inaction, lack of determination or disobedience?

Can I go to bed tonight holding tightly to the secure understanding of my readiness for the Lord’s return?  Do I know for certain that I will go in the rapture when it occurs?  Can I speak boldly about God’s glorious plan or do I harbor sin and UN-forgiveness inhibiting my witness and debilitating my dissemination of His message to this world?  If you doubt your salvation you are not sure?  If you are not certain of your readiness for rapture then you probably are not?  Must I be sure, do I need to see evidence of my salvation in order to be an effective disciple for the Kingdom?

Do we know for sure?  Can we know for sure?  Is there a process to becoming sure?  Is being sure even necessary to the Kingdom work set before me?  Is there some test I can subject my life to that will demonstrate my salvation?  Where does the surety come from regarding my readiness and salvation?  Are my words just over concentration on the importance of surety and readiness?  I am open to any all arguments for and against the consistency of this vein of God’s message.  If you don’t agree, let me know.  I believe that the proof is in the Word.

Be sure, be ready, love each other and keep your eyes skyward awaiting His inevitable and imminent return.  God bless you and may you be sheltered and lifted up by the mighty wings of God, in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
