PROVE YOURSELF READY FOR JEHOVAH'S DAY-By All Means, Prove Yourself Ready

By All Means, Prove Yourself Ready

Time ran out for the world of Noah's day, and it will run out for the present system of things.  The apostle Peter assures us:  "Jehovah's day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered."  Neither the symbolic heavens-wicked governments-nor the symbolic earth-mankind alienated from God-will survive the heat of God's burning anger.  Indicating how we can prove ourselves ready for that day, Peter exclaims:  "Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah!" -2 Peter 3:10-12.

Our regularly attending Christian meetings and sharing in preaching the good news are included among these acts and deeds of godly devotion.  May we perform them with heartfelt devotion to God while we wait patiently for Jehovah's great day.  let us "do [our] utmost to be found finally by [God]spotless and unblemished and in peace. -2 Peter 3:14.

(note; God knows that we are not perfect and while on earth, will not be perfect. All we can do is the best we can to read all the bible, and ask for help in understanding what it says and follow it. God gives you understanding when he feels you are ready for it.  But in order to do all this and more.You have to make it a sincere effort to want to know the truth-true knowledge  of what God wants from all of us and  accept it for what it is, the truth.  It took me awhile to accept the truth, but in the end, when I was ready, something just told me that I need to accept the truth for what it is. Please people! Do  this for yourselves and you won't regret any of it. I don't. I did at first for a short time, then I realized it was meant to be.  You just know somehow that you are ready, believe me. It shocked me too. But it was great. I enjoy have a relationship with God. Just remember, God works in is own time and not mysteriously either!  Look around you, is all this a mystery? It looks pretty clear to me. )
