Your Question:
How do I prepare for the end?
Answer:
Preparing for the end, in this context, is not just about predicting or preparing for a physical event, but rather about preparing one's heart and life for eternity. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this concept. To prepare for the end, I believe it's essential to receive Christ and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and died to be your Savior. The rest will follow in time. It's crucial to listen to God's call, pray about what you must do, and then prepare yourself to do what God is saying. As it's written in 1 Thessalonians 5:24, "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." This means we must take the initiative and act immediately in faith on what God says to us. We should not hesitate or reconsider our initial decisions. Instead, we should be determined to act and never look back. In preparing for the end, it's also essential to focus on our relationship with God and our faith in Him. We should not be distracted by worldly pursuits or speculations about the end times. Rather, we should focus on living a life that pleases God and leads us toward our life purpose or dream. As it's written in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." This means we must train ourselves to live a life that honors God and prepares us for eternity.
