Final Preparations!

Listen to this blog.

And the city did not need the sun or the moon. The glory of God was shining on it, and the Lamb was its light.

Nations will walk by the light of that city, and kings will bring their riches there. Its gates are always open during the day, and night never comes. The glorious treasures of nations will be brought into the city.

But nothing unworthy will be allowed to enter. No one who is dirty-minded or who tells lies will be there. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life will be in the city.

Revelation 21:23-27

How clean is your mind and how truthful are your words?  We live in a world that is dedicated to the proposition of using every innuendo possible to make you have a dirty thought.  And truth itself is such a rarity today that every word is suspect.

It is absolutely true that we are saved by faith in Jesus and not by our own works, but look at the contradiction.  A man who is saved from this world and all of it's evil and yet still holds on to dirty thoughts and lying.  When the sky lights up with the return of Jesus are you going to need to repent of your inappropriate thoughts and lying words before you go with Him? 

So what can I do today to get ready for the return of Jesus?  Reject every thought that comes to your mind that is not pure and holy and righteous.  Think only on those things that are beautiful!  And consider every word that you utter, that they may all be words of truth.  Let there be no hint of a lie on your lips. 

"Lord help me make the final preparations for entrance into that City where there will be no one who is dirty-minded or who tells lies.  May Your Holiness and Truth engulf me today as I stand and search the skies for Your appearance!"
