Today, My Brothers and Sisters, I want to share with you three key ideas of how to live with the conclusion of the Bible in mind. 

Firstly, we must have a heart that is devoted to God. As Revelation 3:20 states, Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” Jesus is calling us to open our hearts to Him so that He may enter and help us to make wise decisions. We must have faith that He will guide us in what we do. 

Secondly, we must have a lifestyle that is a reflection of Christ’s love. As 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” We are called to live our lives in a way that reflects Christ’s love - a love that is patient, kind, and hopeful. 

Finally, we must have a spirit of hope. As Revelation 22:20 says, “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’” Jesus is coming back soon, and this should give us great hope in our lives. No matter what struggles or trials we face in life, we must have faith that God will take care of us and that He will be victorious over all evil. 

My Brothers and Sisters, let us live our lives with the conclusion of the Bible in mind. Let us have hearts devoted to God, lifestyles that reflect Christ’s love, and spirits filled with hope. Let us live life knowing that Jesus has won the ultimate victory and that He will be here soon! Let us live with courage and faith in knowing that our King and Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. Amen!
