If there is one thing the Bible makes clear about the last days it is this: a lot will be happening! There will be intense opposition to God’s people and purposes. Believers will be forced to endure afflictions. Multifarious heresies and false doctrines will abound. We will be inundated with temptation and ungodly values. Rumors and fables will pervade people’s discussions.
In such a time, we must be watchful. And, there will be many things to be watching for. We will certainly need to be cognizant of the many dangers close at hand. We’ll also need to be alert to those who would delight to trip us up or rob us of our hope and joy. We will also need to be careful about the insidious lies and deceptions that could so easily lead us astray, should we grow careless. But the most important thing to be watching for is God’s activity. Even as Satan and his evil forces are insidiously working, God and His kingdom will be much on the move as well. It will be a glorious time to be an evangelist! For, even as time draws to a close, we will have the enormous privilege of snatching people from the brink of destruction, as we lead them to Christ.
In such a time, it will be crucial that we fulfill the ministry that God has called us to. Others suffer when we fail to fulfill our divine calling. We live in crucial days. Are you fully living out the life God called you to?
