The Christ died for you. This is not merely a line from Scripture, not just a concept passed down through generations — it is a living truth, a divine act of sacrifice carried out for your sake. But to truly grasp this, to move beyond hearing and into knowing, requires something deeper: it requires readiness. Not just intellectual openness, but a readiness of heart and spirit. Readiness for the truth — not the soft, comfortable version that fits easily into our lifestyles, but the full, unsettling, magnificent truth of God.
Are you prepared for that kind of truth? Are you ready for the unveiling of just how deeply error and deception have rooted themselves into the world, even into systems that claim the name of God? Can you bear the clarity that comes with knowing it is the Father who is truly God — the one whom Jesus, in all his authority, love, and power, serves and glorifies? Are you ready to see Jesus not as a figure of the past, but as a living Savior, still moving in power, still performing miracles through the faith of those who believe in the love and might of his Father?
Are you open to the reality that the Holy Spirit is not bound by your theology or limited to the text of your Bible, but continues to speak, prophesy, convict, and lead in ways that may defy your current understanding? Are you ready to admit that sin is not just a religious word, but a real and damning force — one that not only separates from God but accelerates the descent into chaos, even into war? Can you accept that God's power to rescue is not metaphorical — that the stories of deliverance from a fiery furnace or a lion's den are not just children’s tales but testimonies of His unchanging ability to save?
And what about fear? Not the fear of man or misfortune, but the holy terror that should rightfully grip us when we consider the displeasure of the Almighty. Are you ready to know that His judgment is real and that it can stretch beyond death, beyond this life? Are you ready to tremble not only at His love, but at His holiness?
Perhaps you are not ready. Perhaps these are still just words — weighty, maybe, but distant. They press against your mind, but do not yet settle in your soul. That’s understandable. Readiness does not come in an instant. Knowledge of God is not gained by reading a post but by seeking, wrestling, surrendering. It takes time. It takes truth breaking through illusion, and light overcoming years of shadow. The question remains — not whether the truth exists, but whether you will be ready when it comes.
