“Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready”, March 31
Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Amos 4:12
.
Suppose that today Christ should appear in the clouds of heaven, who
... would be ready to meet Him? Suppose we should be translated into the
kingdom of heaven just as we are. Would we be prepared to unite with the
saints of God, to live in harmony with the royal family, the children of the
heavenly King? What preparation have you made for the judgment? Have
you made your peace with God? Are you laboring together with God? Are
you seeking to help those around you, those in your home, those in your
neighborhood, those with whom you come in contact that are not keeping
the commandments of God? ... Are we getting ready to meet the King? ...
If it were possible for us to be admitted into heaven as we are, how
many of us would be able to look upon God? How many of us have on the
wedding-garment? How many of us are without spot or wrinkle or any such
thing? How many of us are worthy to receive the crown of life? ... Position
does not make the man. It is Christ formed within that makes a man worthy
of receiving the crown of life, that fadeth not away.
I was pointed to the remnant on the earth. The angel said to them, “Will
ye shun the seven last plagues? ... If so, ye must die that ye may live. Get
ready, get ready, get ready. Ye must have a greater preparation than ye now
have.... Sacrifice all to God. Lay all upon His altar—self, property, and all,
a living sacrifice. It will take all to enter glory.”
Christ is coming with power and great glory. He is coming with His
own glory and with the glory of the Father.... While the wicked flee from
His presence, Christ’s followers will rejoice.... To His faithful followers
Christ has been a daily companion and familiar friend. They have lived in
close contact, in constant communion with God. Upon them the glory of the
Lord has risen.... Now they rejoice in the undimmed rays of the brightness
and glory of the King in His majesty. They are prepared for the communion
of heaven; for they have heaven in their hearts.
If you are right with God today, you are ready if Christ should come
today.
