Jesus' Returns For His Church

                                                        THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH

Any individual looking at my blog, may understand what this title means when we talk about The Rapture of The Church. In these days we see signs, because the world is in a chaotic state, and for the child of God, the rapture of the church will be taking place!

What does the word "Rapture" mean? It means to be taken away. I've heard the song "Rapture" by Blondie; "being taken away."  What does "The Rapture of the church mean?" It means Jesus Christ is coming back  for those who have a relationship with Him, and we are called Christians.  In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, the Bible simply tells us this: " But I would not have you to be ignorant brothers, concerning those who are asleep., that you sorrow not, as do others who have no hope."  VS. 14- "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even those who are asleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM from the dead! You see, this personal relationship that you and I have with Jesus, whether we live or die before that time,  brings to us  FULL SALVATION, from SIN, ,DEATH, and HELL.  One who has died having taken Jesus as their Personal Savior,  will  experience a bodily resurrection, at the Rapture. We who know Jesus  as Our Personal Lord and Savior, don't have to grieve for our loved ones who have already passed on to heaven, because we will see them again!!!! WOW! How much better can that get????? VS. 15 says-"For this we say unto you by THE WORD OF THE LORD, that WE  which are alive, and REMAIN until the coming of The Lord , shall not  prevent them which are asleep.  VS16.- For The Lord HIMSELF, shall descend from Heaven with a SHOUT; with the Voice of The Archangel, and with the trump of God; and The DEAD IN CHRIST shall RISE  FIRST: VS.7-"Then we which are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be caught up (raptured) with them in the sky to meet The Lord in the air; and so shall we EVER be with The Lord! We have so much to be excited about!

If we know Jesus, we have eternal LIFE with Him!!!!  Even beyond this life, you know Jesus you have ETERNAL LIFE with Him. Vs.18-"Wherefore, comfort one another with these words." What a comfort, what a JOY to know that you can KNOW where you'll be when you leave this world.

Maybe someone says "Well, I don;t believe in God, so I'm not going to worry about it. " Or Maybe you say:"  My goodness will get me to heaven." Romans 3:10 says-" There is none righteous NO not one." 
"There is none who seeks after God."  Romans 3:11.   Or maybe you say " If God loved me, then I would'nt  why am I suffering so? Where is God when you need Him?"   

I can't speak for you, but because God loves you. However, if  you reject God, and His love, you will experience eternal death and suffering. Romans 6:23 says" For the wages of sin is death ".Wages means "Payment" and Jesus took yours and my payment for sin, when He was crucified on the cross, the resurected 3 days later. He took all of my sins and your sins upon Himself. I don't want you to reject Christ, The Lord Jesus does not want you to reject His gift of salvation. Your gift is  on the doorstep of your heart and marked "paid in full!"  All you have to do is receive that wonderful, gift. Please know that I love you and more importanly; Jesus Christ loves you!  If you have'nt received Him, Please do receive Him today.I want to see you in the rapture.- Denise Vandermey
