September 10, 2023 - Who Are Taken and Who Are Left?

Whenever God invades the lives of humans, it is a terrifying event!

We are all guilty of not seeing God as He is:
Loving – yes
Righteous and Holy – yes
Wrathful – yes

What we are missing in our view of God is the fear and holiness of the LORD!

(Slide on Defining Fear - See Notes)

God is pure, abject holiness, a holiness that exceeds our ability to comprehend

The only way we can survive and live in the presence of this holiness is to be changed

You were changed when you were saved, born again!

"That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any suth thing; but that it should be hold and without blemish." - Ephesians 5:27

TRUTH: It is not about our holiness, but Christ’s holiness being credited to us who believe

GOOD NEWS: Those who are holy and blameless (saved) will be taken in the Rapture

BAD NEWS: Those not holy and blameless (lost) will be taken in judgment

GOOD NEWS: You still have time to believe and receive the gift of salvation today

Who are taken and Who are left?

All I can say is, don’t be left behind!

Don’t go through the Tribulation judgment!

“Our choice is our own, but the consequences of the choice have already been determined by the sovereign will of God, and from this there is no appeal.” (A.W. Tozer)

"ONE WILL BE TAKEN & THE OTHER WILL BE LEFT"

WHICH WILL YOU BE?
