[center]Prepare To Meet Your God[/center]

Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel. And because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel (Amos 4: 12).
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10: 19).
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in our time of need (Hebrews 4: 16).
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God (Matthew 5: .

If you have an appointment to meet the president of your country, you will dress most gorgeously and beautifully to honor the invitation. You will not want to appear before such an important personality dressed shabbily or looking unkempt. You will appear before him looking really, really good. But what about if you have to meet with God, your Creator? You ought to look much more gorgeous and beautiful. But the difference between man and God is that: man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16: 7b). The most beautifully dressed man or woman could be most wicked at heart; for the heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17: 9).

God is Most Holy and He dwells in the Most Holy Place. He is of purer eyes than to behold sin or iniquity. For you to enter His presence you need the blood of Jesus Christ. But why the blood of Jesus? Why not the blood of Adam or the blood of rams, sheep, goat or any other human being? It is because Jesus was the only man that lived without committing any sin. He once asked the Pharisees and the Jews: “Which of you convict me of any sin?” All of us were born in sins and trespasses. We all inherited the sinful nature from Adam and Eve, our first parents. The blood of man is polluted with sin and out of the heart from which blood flows, all kind of evil – evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness – proceed from within and defile the man. But there is good news. The blood Jesus has been shed for all humanity to take away our sins; and whosoever wills may be cleansed from within.

God sits on a throne called the throne of grace. If you will, you may go to God with confidence by the blood of Jesus to obtain mercy and find grace to help in your time of need. For you to meet your God you must prepare your heart; for, He looks at the heart and not at your physical appearance. The last passage above says it all. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. You can only be pure in heart by the blood of Jesus. Do you want to meet God your Savior and Creator? Do you want to enter heaven? If yes, pray this prayer aloud: Lord Jesus, come into my heart, wash away my sins. I confess as my Lord and Savior, in Jesus’ Precious Name. Amen.
