DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  1 THESSALONIANS 5:4-10

(4)  But ye,  brethren,  are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
(5)  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:  we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
(6)  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;  but let us watch and be sober.
(7)  For they that sleep sleep in the night;  and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
(8)  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love;  and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
(9)  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
(10)Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren, we are children bought from iniquities unto the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  therefore, we are no longer children of the night and dwell in darkness (sin), but are now children of the day dwelling in the light (righteousness) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:  let us continue to dwell in light, and have our consciences seared unto righteousness, and be watchful for his Second Coming when we shall all be with him in his glory forever:  for, we read the scriptures, and hear his word through preachers everyday, and know the truth that judgment day is at hand; however, those who are still in darkness, and have not given themselves to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, the only way, truth and life of all mankind, to them it is just a myth:  case in point;  (i) Noah, warned the people of the flood, but they did not listen and perished, (Genesis 6:13):  (ii)  the LORD, sent angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for their iniquities without repentance and they were destroyed with hails of fire from heaven, (Genesis 19:15):  (iii)  Jonah, warned Nineveh of the LORD,s upcoming judgment of their iniquities, but surprisingly they repented and were saved from destruction, (Jonah 1:2):  friends, it is not too late for us to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior;  let us not put off our salvation any longer, but receive him now, and be prepared for that faithful day of rapture to life everlasting.

Brethren, the question is are we ready?,  how can we be sure that we are ready for this great and faithful day?  no one knows for sure, but as followers of Jesus Christ;  (a)  let us exercise faith, and hope, and love, and live discipline lives with positive attitudes;  (b)  and read his word daily the helmet of of our salvation;  (c)  and continue to dwell in his light the hope of his Second Coming;  (c) and resist all the works of darkness which is evil;  for we are children of righteousness redeemed from all sins by the blood of Jesus our Lord and Savior;  therefore, we shall not perish on that faithful day of judgment, but will inherit eternal life whether we are still living or sleep in death, we have an assurance that we shall live with him forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
