The Bible says everyone will stand before God to give an account of every word, thought, and action. Will you be innocent or guilty on Judgment Day? Let’s look at the Ten Commandments and see if you meet God’s standard. Is God first in your life? Do you love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, or dishonored your parents? Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? If you have broken just one of these laws, then you have sinned against God. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The penalty of sin is death and eternal torment in hell.
The good news is God provided a way out. Jesus Christ took your punishment when he suffered and died on the cross. He defeated death by rising from the dead. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Repent (turn from your sins) therefore and turn to God, that your sins may be wiped out.

It’s not just a one time prayer - it’s a whole new lifestyle. Begin reading the Bible, follow Jesus and obey his commands. Repent and believe the good news today, you
may not have tomorrow!

ready or not, it will come.
not to sound judgmental, but if you are a person who believes in the false doctrines of the trinity, immortal soul, and hell-as a place of eternal torment for the judged, then you my friend, need to realize that it is YOU, who is not ready.
Again, this is not me playing the judge, it is just a fact based upon the simple truth from God's word-the Bible.

"Will you be innocent or guilty on Judgment Day?"
I believe everyone is guilty of something. Not one person on this earth is free from sin. I, myself, am guilty of sin.
"Is God first in your life?"
God is always first and foremost in my life. Without Him, I would be forever lost.
"Do you love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength?"
Yes, I do. More than words cannot express.
"Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, or dishonored your parents?"
I have never stolen from my parents. I've lied to them when I was little. I don't think I've dishonored them in anyway.
"Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart?"
I don't think so. I've said some guy is good looking to my husband in a joking manner (as we kid around with each other about different things), but never have lusted for anyone else causing me to commit adultery in my heart. The only man who I will always love and have thoughts of are my husband.
By saying all of that, God has given everyone the chance to repent their sins and ask God into your heart, and ask for forgiveness. God doesn't love me any less for being a sinner. The Bible also states "God forgives those who forgive others". I've accepted Him into my heart, and even though I've sinned, I am saved and I know that when judgement day does come, I am ready with an open heart to answer before Him.

We are on the same page again, as usual.
Yes I know I am ready. Does that mean I think I know it all? NOPE. Noone does YET.
BUt God commanded us to love and obey Him, and I do. We must be a follower of JEsus Christ, confess our sins and turn from them. Yes I do.
I live only to serve God in any way He calls me to do, and I know my salvation is assured becuse I do as HE calls me to do. I do not commit deliberate, willful sin, and I know if there is an area I still sin in, its becuase I dont yet know it, and I study to know all God says and I stay in prayer, knowing that His mercy and grace will cover me, becuase I desire to do only His will and I do what I know to obey. Obedience is the key to blessing, and disobedence is the key to curse.
Do I know for sure about my salvation??? YEP>
GOd is So GOOD to reveal truth when we look for it. Seek and ye shall find HE tells us. YEP AGAIN> The only way we can know our salvation is assured, is if we love Him enough to obey Him, and turn from sin. Knowing That JEsus Christ our saviour, and that He will come again to take us home. Glory Hallelujah. SO much to celebrate...

Sorry to say i have broken more than just one.That is why I rejoice in the CROSS . Without the cross we would have no hope for salvation, because no one could keep the 10 commandments,if we could ,we wouldn't need JESUS, 1st JOHN-8 says....If we say we have no sin,we deceive ourselves,and the truth is not in us,so i thank GOD for JESUS everyday, because without him ,i would not be ready.

I despair at the vision of God that is prevalent on this forum. How small is the God you speak of. I think God would like me to tell you that you misunderstand Him and do Him a disservice when you write things like this. God is absolute power and unconditional love. Jesus died to show us that we cannot and do not die. We are Eternal and no soul is ever lost. I say this respectfully. I believe you are missing the point.

Yes, I believe that I'm ready for the Rapture. All the signs are there. Yes I've sinned, but the blood of Jesus has made me whole. Each day I confess my sins to God and I can go go sleep each night knowing that I'm forgiven. As It is written, If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteness.

I am ready because my sins have been forgiven by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross..
I have repented of sin and doen what the Bible says..
and have eternal life.
) "These things I have written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life"... (I Jn. 5:13
"For God sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved". - (Jn. 3:17)
"God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance'. - (2Peter 3:9)
To Be A SON OF GOD:
"But as many as received him (Jesus), TO THEM he gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in his name, which were born.... not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God"- (John 1:12)

I've read the Bible cover to cover with a critical eye, and determined it is a myth. Simply "witnessing" on R&S will not "win souls", if that's what you're trying to do here.

I am ready always, because Christianity isn't about going to church or who you know, it is about how is your heart towards Jesus, and I keep my heart pure before the Lord. That doesn't mean that I am perfect ,but my heart is perfectly in love with Him and that is all that matters, because everything else falls into place after that.......

When someone asks a question such as this I think of a Christian, German concentration camp guard at Auschwitz in 1944. He has a loving family who he takes to church every Sunday without fail. On this day, he is leading a family of Jews to their deaths in the gas chamber. Here's where things get confusing for me. According to the bible, all the German guard must do is accept Jesus as his savior and the son of god and ask for forgiveness of this terrible sin of multiple murders of innocent victims, and he will dwell in heaven forever when he dies after living a long and fruitful life. The innocent Jewish family, however, because they don't believe just as the German does, after having their lives cut miserably short and not allowed to bring up children have, grandchildren and enjoy the other niceties of life like the German will enjoy, will burn in hell for eternity. That's just sick man.
