The Time is at Hand - Matt. 7:13-14, Joel 3:13-16

The signs we see these days are sure evidence that we are in the last days. Many things the Bible recorded are already happening, even though some are yet to happen. But with what has happened so far, it’s evident that the time is at hand. This is the time every
child of God should be happy because it is gearing towards the harvest of the Lord. Meeting with our Saviour in heaven should be the greatest joy every child of God should have. But while the coming of the Lord is near, many are still struggling with decision.

Nevertheless, it is regretful that many are not with fruit(s), nor even ripe for the master's harvest. They are still struggling to meet the standards the world set for them. While many are yet to decided which way to follow, considering the cost and price attached to each ways. This is to say that it the price to be paid that should qualify anyone to have his or her placement before God ... Rev. 22:11-15.

In all your reasoning and excuses, be careful to know that the culture in heaven cannot be compromised. Your situation and desires cannot also adjust God's standard as written in His word. This is the reason that the narrow way, which leads to heaven, cannot accommodate everyone. This calls for serious pruning and evaluations, which is gained from self-discipline ... Rom. 12:1-2.

Many want freedom and lack restrictions from things that offend God. They take laws into their hands and claims they are free moral agents. Thus these leads to the following evil indulgences: self-righteousness, immoral ideologies, and neglects to the ordinances if God. But these are what the narrow way eschew evil. It is not enough to live a life without control, because unguarded liberty is the reason for lost.

More so, we are not to be compelled to be saved. It is your willingness to surrender to the will of God that matters. So it’s either you remain the same or accept Christ; as to enjoy the companionship if the Holy Spirit. If we claim that the world is so frustrating and for that we must comply, we should remember that it is impossible to please the devil, but the yoke of Christ is light and easy. When you accept God as your all, He will shoulder your responsibilities, and make you His own ... II Cor. 6:14-18.
