“Maranatha!”

“Maranatha” is the Aramaic translation of the phrase: “Come, O Lord!”

1 Cor 16:22 “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.” KJV

Why is it important? Because it will change how you live. It will change what you live for. It will give your life a clearer purpose and call you to a deeper commitment to Jesus. It will affect how you see the world and how you look at those who need Jesus to transform their lives. And it will sustain your love for God…
