The Lord Jesus was lighting up tomorrow
when he told his disciples in a concise way
the three great truths that he would show
between the time of his return to the Father
and his coming back to take his people.
(John 16:7-16)
By those truths he would prepare the church
for the Rapture and the world for the harvest.
The disciples were not then ready for the truths,
but he would show those truths from heaven.
Those who accept the gospel of grace
as the Lord Jesus showed the apostle Paul
by revelation from heaven, that we are saved
by grace thru faith alone in the Lord Jesus,
are accepting the first truth that the Lord
showed from heaven to the nations.
Those who accept the basis of salvation
as the Lord Jesus showed the theologian Luther,
that Christ is our entire righteousness for salvation,
are accepting the second truth that the Lord
showed from heaven to the world.
Those who accept the need for salvation
as the Lord Jesus will show by the Rapture,
that there is no righteousness at all except Christ,
are accepting the third truth that the Lord
will show from heaven to all the earth.
Those and only those who have
all their trust on the Lord Jesus for their salvation
are considered by him to have his own righteousness
as though they are as righteous as the Son of God,
and therefore they have eternal life
and are ready for his coming.
