Love God first. Because He loved me first, I'll love Him above all else and let Him be my first priority. Let the love He's shown me work in me so I love my fellowmen with patience, without annoyance, and with sincerity and forbearance. Remembering how often God has put up with me, makes me more apt to imitate Him. Let me love Jesus first, then my husband, then my family, then others with the love that the Lord has loved me with.
Daniel 11
All God's Word is Truth and reliable. The Lord has appointed the time of the end and it's of His great mercies, he has shortened the days for His people's sake.
The antichrist will flatter, deceive, using peace as a weapon. He will be against God's people Israel, and against God. He will join with those who forsake God. He will break promises and take away the sacrifices and defile the temple (Abomination of Desolation). He will do wickedly, corrupting by flattery.
Know God. Stand fast and firm in the Lord. Great persecution is coming, but we must not silence the Gospel. There will be a great apostasy when persecution comes.
The antichrist will be full of pride. He will speak against and exalt himself over God. He will think he is god. He will join forces with the devil. At the end, he'll be destroyed and cast into the lake of fire. The Lord shall overcome!
1 Peter 2
Check to be sure you're growing. Love the Word.
Don't practice anger, hypocrisy, fraud, envy or evil speaking. We are God's temple, offering up thanks, praise, prayer and obedience. Those who put their trust in God will never be bewildered or confused...
To the believer, Jesus is precious, to the ungodly, that rejects Him as untrue, invalid, He is an offense. They are given over to disobedience. We belong to the Lord, holy unto Him. Walk worthy. Praise the King who has called you from the power of darkness into His glorious light!
We are now His, not according to anything we've done, but because of His mercy. Be a stranger of the world. Be a pilgrim. This world isn't our home. Don't let sin have dominion over you. Be on your guard. Submit not to temptation, but resist and abhor sin. Do good to all. Behave like children of the King. Be in the fear of the Lord all the day long. Be patient in trials and tribulation, following the example of Jesus.
Don't retaliate, or talk back. God will judge. Be dead to sin. Live righteously unto Him who saved your soul. The Lord can call the backslider home.
