I Corinthians 16: 13, 14
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.
This list of instructions from Paul to the Church in Corinth, should be the same instructions to us as we await the coming of the LORD. Be on your guard against spiritual dangers; while we are waiting,there will be many attempts to lure the believers in JESUS away from their hope in the LORD. There are many false prophets around, speaking "silver-tongued" words. The Scripture warns us to test every spirit to see if it is of GOD; so, what is the test? Do their words conform to the Holy Word of GOD - the Scripture; do they bring peace in your spirit; do they speak of LOVE of GOD and neighbor; do they confess that JESUS has come in the flesh, died, rose again, is seated with the Father and will come again. JESUS is the only way to the Father; by His Blood we are reconciled to GOD.
Stand firm in the faith; be men/women of courage; be strong in the LORD. This is a time that will try us all, in every way. The best is to stay in the LORD JESUS; stay in the Holy Word of GOD and stay in fellowship with true believers. Stand on the promises of GOD; stand on the Rock; stand on the Word; STAND STEADFAST unmovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD.
Do everything in love. Love the LORD GOD and love your neighbor as yourself. Work the work of love. Cast out hate, and prejudice; hold no grudges, forgive; speak the Word of the LORD; walk in faith, not by sight; fellowship one with another in brotherly love; be a light in the darkness, drawing all men/women to Christ.
WHILE YOU WAIT, BE A WITNESS OF THE LOVE OF JESUS FOR ALL PEOPLE
