Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God; and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17: 3
My mom and I were talking the other day.
I’m writing on Revelation for a Bible study.
So we were talking about the end times.
We discussed the rapture-where Christians are taken by God, up to Heaven.
Where we are protected from the suffering of judgement to come on the earth at the end of this season of mankind.
We discussed all that is going to happen to the unbelievers, those not taken at this time.
This season called the tribulation, spoken of through the prophets and in Revelation in the Bible.
We discussed all the pieces of what I was writing about.
The Jews as a nation coming to Christ.
So many unbelievers choosing Jesus.
But all having to go through death because of it.
All the wild happenings in the moon, stars, and sky.
The beasts that will appear and so much more.
And she asked me a wise question.
Do I have to know this to be saved?
Do Christians have to know this to go to Heaven?
And the answer is No.
That we don’t need to know any of this to be saved for all eternity.
That we just need to know Jesus.
We just need to ask Him into our hearts.
We just need to ask Him to be our Lord.
That is all that is required for us to have eternal life.
That we don’t need to believe in the rapture, to go in the rapture.
That we don’t need to know what is going to happen in the tribulation, to not have to go through it.
What it does by knowing these things, is give us, believers, greater doses of love, joy, peace, and fire.
Greater Love for Jesus knowing what He is saving us from.
Greater Inner Joy to know we have a good future.
Forever Peace to know our future is set and it is good.
Energetic Fire—knowing what is going to happen to all those who don’t believe— that we could not stop ourselves from telling everyone else about the love and stability we have found in Jesus.
That none of them, those we love, those we like, those we even hate, are saved from going through this season of mankind, called the tribulation.
May we know that we know that we know Jesus is the whole purpose of this season of mankind, to hear of Him, to fall in love with Him, to receive Him, and all He has done for us, that we live with Him, in His Kingdom of life, of light, and of love for all time.
May we know that we know that we know if we simply ask Jesus to be our Lord, regardless of knowing all the details, He is faithful to come into our hearts, teaching us about Him, His ways, His good plans for us, leading us into His Kingdom that was prepared for us since the beginning of time.
May we know that we know that we know it really is this simple to receive all the goodness, all the completeness, all the missing pieces that we have been seeking in this life.
