What shall we do then? (CW09)

   'World War 3 is at Hand'
 
While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Last days Wicked Christians
2 Tim 3:1-5  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
    Since Christians in the last days are wicked, selfish, carnal, haughty and covetous, how many Christians will be found worthy to be His faithful servants and escape the horrific World War 3?
Note - the wicked generation of Noah, were all killed by the deluge except for Noah's family of 8 souls.
   Flee from the wickedness of end-time Christians by keeping the words of Jesus.

Bear Fruits of Repentance
Luke 3:8-9  Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance... And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
   The Jews especially the hypocrites, wicked and faithless were told to repent of their sins. Similarly, carnal, worldly, covetous, depraved, wicked and heretic Christians must first repent of their sins

What shall we do then?
Luke 3:10-11  So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?" He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."
    Not only do Christians need to feed their brethren but clothe them as well, which are signs of the love for the brethren.
1 John 3:17-18  But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

This is what you must do

1. Love the Brethren to escape Death (damnation)
    Support Christian missions and charitable homes for the poor and needy children, handicap and elderly. These organisations are provided by God to help you express your love for your brethren.
1 John 3:14  We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

2. Preach the Gospel of Christ or grace
Luke 24:46-47  Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."

3. Make Disciples of all Nations
Mat 28:19-20  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

4. Understand and Teach End-time Signs
Mat 24:3  Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
    Teach the End-time signs with the teachings of Jesus in Mat 24 as the foundation so that as each end-time sign is fulfilled, the faith of Christian will be strengthened.
John 16:4  "But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you."

5. Flee from the curse of wickedness especially hoarding treasures in the last days.
James 5:1-6   Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!... You have heaped up treasure in the last days.
