Maranatha
SonLight Daily Devotional Daily Devotional for May 29

1 Corinthians 16:22 "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." "Maranatha" means, "The Lord is coming!"

1 Corinthians 15:52 "In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

1 Thessalonians 4:17 "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."

The Lord is coming for His own at the rapture of His church. The born again Christian will not face the wrath of God. No, not for one moment. The unsaved do not even know what the rapture is; for they have no Biblical understanding. The unsaved are busy with the details of life; to them the Holy Bible means nothing 1 Corinthians 2:14.

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

God Almighty has given mankind a free will to choose life or death; a blessing or a curse. Life is believing on the Lord Christ Jesus as your personal Saviour. Death is choosing to ignore the calling of God. God waits patiently for mankind to respond to His gift of eternal salvation. The gift of salvation is for all that will ask for it.

Only the saved Christian will be caught up in the air during the rapture of the Church. The rest will be left behind because they have made that choice.

Bible References (KJV)

1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
