Bible Verses About Being Ready For The Second Coming

Dear Friends, how are you? Today I want to talk to you about a very important topic. That is the return of Jesus Christ.

Look, our Bible says that Jesus will return to earth again. But no one knows when he will come. So we must always be ready.

To explain this, Jesus told a story. The story of ten virgins. They were going to a wedding. Five were wise, and five were foolish. The wise took oil, but the foolish did not. Suddenly the bridegroom arrived. Those who took oil were able to enter. The rest were left out.

What can we learn from this story? We also need to be ready at all times. By praying, reading the Bible, and doing good works.

I speak for myself. I get up every morning and pray. Then I read the Bible. Whenever I have time during the day, I think about God. This keeps my mind calm.

You too should try. You will see that it will be very good. And remember, Jesus can come at any time. So always try to be good. If you have a fight with someone, settle it quickly. Help the poor.

I have a friend. He was very poor. But now he is rich. But he still helps the poor. He says, “Brother, when Jesus comes, let him see me doing good.”

If we all try like this, when Jesus comes, we will be able to stand before him happy. What do you say, right?

So let’s all pray together. “Lord, help us to always be ready for you. Amen.”

Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about being prepared for the Second Coming of Jesus.
