Are you dressed and ready?


Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
 

Are you dressed and ready for the Lord's return do you have your garments washed clean are you prepared?

Luke 12:40“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”


 

People who are dressed and ready are:

Not Hypocrites-One who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not; a dissembler in religion. Our Lord severely rebuked the scribes "and Pharisees for their hypocrisy (Matt. 6:2, 5, 16). "The" "hypocrite's hope shall perish" (Job 8:13). The Hebrew word here" "rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or "profane," as" "it is rendered in Jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crimes."

Job 8:13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
Job 13:16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


Not fearful -

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Ecclesiasticus 2:12Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!


Not worried
Proverbs 12:25 - Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad
1 Peter 5:6-7 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:


Not greedy
Luke 12:15 - And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Proverbs 15:27 - He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

Not Lazy-
Proverbs 12:24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Proverbs 21:25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.


You must watch and work diligently and be obedient. Overcoming worry is done through trust perspective and prayer. A prepared person is ready to go at a moments notice. Are you ready to move in obedience now? Or do you have cares of this life to attend to first? Are you clothed and ready?


Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Isaiah 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Psalms 132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
