The End : How Can I Get Ready? - 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

Many people say that we have to prepare for our death. We have to 'get right with God', or 'fix our ways'. We have to clean ourselves up for God and make sure we're in good standing to be brought into heaven with him forever. What do we have to do to get ready for our death? What do we have to make sure we do before Jesus returns? God does not require you to clean up your life or do anything to be 'good enough' for him. You don't need to have it all sorted and figured out—in fact, you can't. But Jesus has it figured out for us. Jesus has chosen us as the firstfruits to be saved. We are his own beloved children. All we who have faith 'need' to do, is trust in God's promises, and stand firm in the faith passed down to us. We prepare for the end by trusting in Jesus' promises, standing firm in the faith, and live as he has called us to in that faith.
