Time Ethic (Christian Principles, #3) / Christian Principles (ePub)

Men often say:

Somethings were meant to be.

Like time and its abrupt and awkward end. Like man and his forgetfulness that things that are were not and shall again not be. Like the lost and a piteous end. A thing that Christ desires all of us to carry our individual and personal crosses for. For time is spent and the day of judgement is due. And yet things are continuing as they were in the beginning. Though a snare is due, like fowls in to a snare of a fowler, man do pour in to judgement as though it was never told.

Though a call has been made is duly made yet the more creation do not see that dire end as a thing that can befall them. Just like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah just like in the days of Noah. It shall when it is shall begin to be real. The surreal spewing of the moment shall make many beware though in the teeth of destruction. A thing not worthy of acknowledging for they shall be like water that has escaped the hold of one's hands.

Romans 13:11-13 KJV And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Armed with the knowledge that time is spent. We should thus the more work on our salvation with fear and trembling and pull as many from the fire as we can. A thing that we owe to He who did climb the hill and the cross for our triumph. To say to death and sin that you strength has been breached. We thus have to do work ways and means to do timeously work a way of saving others and even producing due results worthy of a commendation before the Lord our God. For we know not when and where; but we sincerely are sure of one thing. That like a thief in the night, He shall do befall all, some to their shame and some to their victory. One has to make their calling sure, for no one indeed knows the timing and the season of the due harvest. Yet we should be saved and ready for the trump.

Luke 12:35-40 KJV Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

There is a clear warning that the Lord left His disciples with. Be as men who have set and made ready for a journey, put on you belts and switch on your lights, so you may not miss the moment. Meaning it is a choice, a choice for one to qualify self for the rapture of saints. You either slumber and be satiated with matters of this life or you put on your belt and switch on your lamp for His coming. It begins and ends with a choice. A choice one makes to be a candid candidate or pretense candidate of the kingdom of God.
