Book of 2 JohnSample

CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE VIGILANT 

Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. (Revelation 3:11)

We will find many tall buildings with guard or security features in the city center. Our house also has an entrance door, and we will make sure that this door is locked at night before we go to sleep or when we want to go out. All of these are done for security purposes, to avoid thieves or other crimes.

We will also be on guard when traveling outside the house. We want to ensure our safety because there might be people around us who want to do evil to us. The same thing applies in our spiritual matters. Outside there, many people are used by the power of darkness to destroy our faith. Each of us needs to be vigilant. As children of God, we must dare to reject everything that is not following the truth.

These days we can easily get any information through the internet. The power of darkness also uses the internet to attack the faith of God's children. Through his cunning, perverted teachings also emerge. Therefore, we need to be careful not to accept teachings that seem spiritual but in reality come from false messiahs. The Bible has told us that false prophets will appear before He comes. Among them are those who deny that Jesus is the one true God who has come into flesh.

We know that it will rain soon when the clouds start to get dark.  The same thing applies to the second coming of Christ. As believers, we should have an understanding of this matter and be vigilant in life. 

Let our faith be steadfast. Let us do His will all the more as we see the Day approaching.
