Pastor Carter addresses Questions on
THE RAPTURE
Is the church ready for Christ’s return?
I believe His true Church is already ready for His return. He will come without warning, as He did for Enoch, and those who are really ready for His coming will be, and then will be not.... as was Enoch (Gen 5:24). He was taken. Not because of his church affiliation... but because he walked with God.
Those walking with God are not striving to be ready for His coming, they are ready.... walking in a ready-state on a daily basis. We do not have to strive to get to Him. That's "religion." Religion is man's feeble attempt to get to God. ...But "reconciliation" and "relationship" is God's attempt to Get to man, and He was well able to accomplish His goal. Praise God, He did.
I'm thankful that I can accept that what Christ did was sufficient to forgive me of my sins and repair the breach between me and my Heavenly Father.
Our prayer of thanks to the Lord should be, "Thank you, Lord, for making a way that I may live by faith in You, knowing that I am justified by the work you finished on the cross. Because of your sacrifice, Lord, I can walk again with God as He intended, and live my life not out of fear of You, or out of a striving to be good enough for you ...but to live my life in fellowship and relationship with You every day. Watching for you, waiting for you, ready for you to grab me up from here whenever You decide You're ready. Thank you, Lord, that my relationship with You makes me more ready every day to be with You! I'm ready when you are, Lord. Come as You will."
