Are you ready?
The LORD desires a prepared bride. In His grace and kindness, He waits before returning so that we might have as much time to be ready for His arrival. In order to be ready for Him, we have to know what He is looking for, what pleases Him, and what makes Him smile. Just like any other relationship, this takes time and effort - being in His presence, reading His word, and being intimate with Him in prayer. It also takes submission.
Great scriptures that point to the criteria of Christ are:
Psalm 51:7
Matthew 22:1-14
Revelation 3:5
Revelation 3:18
Romans 5:9
Revelation 14:12
Revelation 13:10
2 Corinthians 11:2
He’s looking for the blood of Jesus, spotless white clothing, patient endurance, and a people that have kept themselves pure as a virgin. Are you ready?
