Are you ready TODAY?

It seems most of us live for tomorrow. We're planning. We're organizing. We're thinking everything is later. We're saving for college, retirement, vacations, etc. Lately, I've been wondering if Jesus came back, like today, that all that planning, all of that saving, would really be in vain. I know. If I don't do it, it might be later than I thought, so I probably have to stick with the planning.

But it begs the question, are you ready TODAY? Seriously. Think about it. If you die today or if Jesus comes back today, are you ready? Are you in the right relationship with Jesus that you will be in heaven with Him for eternity? Do you have 'fire insurance?' Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment. We have to accept His gift. And we have to give it all over to Him. And then we have to let Him 'drive.'

In the Book of Acts, the people saw Peter's boldness after Jesus was resurrected, and they had received power from the Holy Spirit, as Jesus had commanded them to do. They were 'pierced to the heart' and asked, "What shall we do?"

In Acts 2:28 it says, "And Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself."

Repent means to turn away from, like an about face in the military. Turn away from the wrong things; do an about face from them.

Confess your sins (agree with God that they are wrong.) His word says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Get ready. You never know when your time on earth is done.
