Are You Ready?

• Life is fragile.
• Time is short.
• Eternity is real.

The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is coming again — and that every person will one day stand before God.

“It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” — Hebrews 9:27

The most important question is not:

• Are you successful?
• Are you religious?
• Are you a good person?

The question is this:

Are you ready to meet God?

---

Ready for What?

• Ready to stand before a holy God.
• Ready for the return of Jesus.
• Ready for eternity.

Jesus warned that His return would be sudden and unexpected.

“Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” — Matthew 24:44

Being ready does not mean being perfect. It means being forgiven.

Why Most People Are Not Ready

Many people believe:

• “I’ll get serious about God later.”
• “I’m not that bad.”
• “I’ll fix myself first.”
• “I’m spiritual, not religious.”

But the Bible says:

“There is none righteous, no, not one.” — Romans 3:10
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23

• Good intentions cannot remove guilt.
• Good works cannot erase sin.
• Time cannot heal what only God can forgive.

What God Has Done for You

Jesus did not wait for you to clean yourself up.

He came to you.

Jesus lived a sinless life and died on the cross in your place.

“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

On the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserve.

“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” — 1 Peter 2:24

Three days later, He rose from the dead — proving sin and death were defeated.

“He is not here, for He has risen.” — Matthew 28:6

How to Be Ready

The Bible gives a simple, clear answer:

“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” — Acts 16:31

To be ready, you must:

• Repent — turn from sin and self-rule
• Believe — trust Jesus alone to save you

Salvation is not earned. It is received.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith… not of works.” — Ephesians 2:8–9

Jesus Is Calling You

Jesus is not forcing you. He is inviting you.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in.” — Revelation 3:20

Right now, this moment matters.

“Now is the day of salvation.” — 2 Corinthians 6:2

A Simple Prayer of Readiness

If you want to be ready — truly ready — you can pray from your heart:

“Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner and cannot save myself.
I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead.
I turn away from my old life and place my trust in You alone.
Forgive me, save me, and make me new.
I give my life to You and receive You as my Lord and Saviour. Amen.”

This confession has made you a new being in Christ. 

           "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” — Romans 10:13

If You Prayed This

If you have placed your faith in Jesus:

• Your sins are forgiven
• You are a child of God
• You have eternal life
• You are ready

“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1

Final Question

Jesus is coming again. Eternity is closer than you think.

Are you ready?

If not — you can be.

And if you are — live with hope, faith, and confidence.

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” — Revelation 22:20
