Our Response
Colossians 2:9-12 ;Ephesians 1:22;1 John 4:8
"From beginning to end in the Bible nothing is more ultimate in the mind and heart of God than the
glory of God. The beauty of God the radiance of His perfection... What is clear from the whole range of
Biblical revelation is that God's ultimate allegiance is to know Himself perfectly and love Himself
infinitely and to share that with you... God's purpose to share with sinners the knowledge that He has of
Himself and the love that He has for Himself is the meaning of love. In 1 John 4:8 'God is love...' it is
God's very nature to share the knowledge that He has of Himself and the delight that He takes in Himself
with sinners though it cost Him the death of His Son." John Piper
"The average person today is utterly oblivious to the inevitability of Christ's return. Sadly, even many
professing Christians live their lives without ever giving a thought to the possibility that they could find
themselves in the presence of Christ at any moment... The return of Christ will mean sudden and
permanent separation of the wicked from the redeemed. Christ is emphasizing the urgency of salvation
now, during the day of salvation, because the day of opportunity will soon be gone. The door of the ark
will be shut, so to speak. It will happen without warning, and the consequences will be instant and
irreversible. Don't be caught by surprise. Be on the alert." John MacArthur
