Be Steadfast in the Blessed Hope
🌟 Sermon Summary: Be Steadfast in the Blessed Hope | Rev. Glen Lim 🌟
Last Sunday, Rev. Glen Lim reminded us of the Blessed Hope that sustains us in these last days—the return of our Lord Jesus Christ! While the world grows darker with moral decay, self-centeredness, and deception, believers are called to stand firm, live righteously, and fix our eyes on eternity.
Key Takeaways from the Sermon:
1️⃣ Hope in Christ’s Return – 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 declares the mystery of the rapture: “We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.” Jesus is coming soon, and His return is our ultimate hope and assurance.
2️⃣ The Signs of the Last Days – 2 Timothy 3 warns that in the last days, people will be lovers of themselves, boastful, unholy, unforgiving, and lacking self-control. We see these signs unfolding before our eyes, pointing to Christ’s imminent return.
3️⃣ Live with Expectancy and Holiness – “Let us purify ourselves, just as He is pure.” (1 John 3:3) The wise virgins in Matthew 25 prepared their lamps, while the foolish ones were left behind. Likewise, we must keep our spiritual lamps burning and live righteously in an ungodly world.
4️⃣ Victory Over Death – “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” (1 Cor 15:55) Because Christ conquered death, we have the assurance of eternal life with Him. Our hope is not in the world’s temporary comforts, but in God’s eternal promise.
5️⃣ Hold Firm to the Faith – Hebrews 10:23 urges us: “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” In difficult times, trust in God’s Word, stay committed to the Church, and encourage one another in faith.
🔑 Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:51-58
As we live in these uncertain times, let us remain steadfast in the Blessed Hope. Be ready, be watchful, and live each day for Christ—because when the trumpet sounds, we will be with the Lord forever! 🙌
