11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. – Romans 13:11 NLT
Over the centuries, Christians have received a lot of criticism because many have tried to predict the time when Jesus will return. Jesus specifically told us in His Word that no one but the Father knew the day and the hour. Even so, it is our eternal hope and we look forward expectantly for His return. It is certainly true that regardless of when, we know that the completion of our salvation “is nearer now than when we first believed”. We don’t need to waste our time and energy on trying to figure out when Jesus will return. We don’t need to waste out time trying to gratify the flesh which can never get enough. Yes, everyone needs to earn a living and take care of those things that God has made us stewards over, But, and much more importantly, we need to spend a lot more of the time God has allotted us here on earth in worshiping God, praising God and disciplining others to be ready at all times. We are never on neutral ground, we are in a war zone constantly. We need to fight the good fight clothed with the armor of God and the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.” — Hebrews 10:36-37 NIV
