Revelation 16:15
15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
This means that no one knows when this is going to happen. No one knows when Jesus is coming back for His bride and this time of tribulation will begin.
“Watch and keeps his garments” means that we always need to wear the garment of salvation and repentance.
We need to live life the way of God. When we break His commandments, we must repent. There are many people who refuse to repent. They have hardened their hearts. But repentance brings salvation. When we repent, God will give us a second chance. But repentance means that we turn away from that sin and do not commit that sin again. If you are committing the same sin over and over again even though you repent, you need to examine your heart and see if you are truly repenting. If you truly repent, you will turn away from that sin. To repent means that you go in a different direction; you do not walk the same path anymore.
Do not just think about this moment. You must consider your future. When you go into sin, it’s like you are drinking salty water. It does not satisfy you; you want more and more and more. You will not be satisfied by sin, but you will be satisfied with God.
Even at this moment, Satan is looking for someone to defile. He is looking for an open door to come through so that he can destroy you. He is looking for someone to defile and destroy.
1 Peter 5:8
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
In order to resist temptation, you must first submit to God.
Ephesians 6:11
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Put on the armor of God and pray. Prayer is like a rope that rings a bell in heaven.
God bless you!
