"Therefore, having these Promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God"
(2 Corinthians 7:1).

Redeemed, be ready today, clothed in white robes, being holy and prepared for the day of our departure.

All inhabitants of earth must keep in mind that the day when we will give an account for the good or the evil we've done is almost upon us. Jesus is calling upon us today to keep our garments clean. As we run the race, let us be on guard, that we may be counted worthy of the grace of God, and the salvation that is a freely given gift from God. We must continue on the path, living holy and cleansed through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us set our sights toward Heaven, walking in love and being full of joy, faith, light and the Holy Spirit. "For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry" (Hebrews 10:37). The Lord will soon return. Even now we can hear His footsteps approaching. We must be awake if we want to inherit the land. Do we want to be part of eternity? Do we want to receive the rewards for our struggles at the end of the race? Then let us not cease in seeking to be holy in every moment of the day, keeping away from everything that appears to be evil. Freely we received the light, strength, peace, joy, happiness and salvation. Let us then keep them sacred in obedience, worshiping our Lord God and keeping ourselves clean and holy. Then we will surely reach the place that was once promised to us.
