2 Samuel 23:1-39; Jeremiah 7:1-34; Ephesians 1:15-2:10
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:20-21
Consider this exhortation, “Keep yourselves in the love of God”! Ponder the activities necessary for such an endeavour: building, praying, and looking! The looking refers to our anticipation of the coming of the Lord and the rapture of the saints. We are to joyfully and anxiously await the coming of the Lord for His Church. It will be an act of mercy as He takes us to glory and thus delivers us from the impending Great Tribulation. —L. Cain
What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see,
When I look upon His face, the One who saved me by His grace. —Jim Hill
