THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WILL BE RAPTURED.

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WILL BE RAPTURED.

I Thess.4: 15 “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

NOTE: Only believers, those who have given their hearts to Christ by faith, will be raptured. Here’s what I’m talking about:

Saving faith may thus be defined as a voluntary turning from all hope and grounds based on self merit, and assuming an attitude of expectancy toward God, trusting Him to do a perfect saving work based only on the merit of Christ.

The Bride Of Christ Will Be Raptured.

1. Paul likened the church at Corinth to a virgin engaged to her Lord.

II Cor.11: 2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

2. The Church will enjoy the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Rev.19: 7 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”

NOTE: [1] In Ephesians 5 Paul illustrates the relationship between Christ and the Church with the marital relationship between a husband and his wife.
[2] The book of Revelation places the Marriage of the Lamb between the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Millennial Kingdom.

3. The Church will not go through the Tribulation’s languishing.

I Thess.5: 9 “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Rev.3: 10 “Because thou (church at Philadelphia) hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”

LET US PRAY
LORD JESUS CHRIST, COUNT US WORTHY OF THE SAINT THAT WILL RAPTURE WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUND IN JESUS NAME.
