The way we conduct ourselves now, and as the Day of the Lord approaches has a serious impact to our future. God desires that all mankind might repent and turn to Him. The Bible also makes it clear that He is patient to give us time to do so. However, our repentance is not something that should cause God to wait on us. The sooner that we turn to Him, the sooner His Kingdom may be established.

Our righteousness is incomparable to God's. Conversion is a transformation of who and what we are from one state to another. But through a specific process delineated in the Bible we can become a Christian and begin our new walk.
By making seemingly imperceptible compromises in our spiritual life over time, we take the risk of compunding an effect that is very perceptible. Making any small compromise with the righteous way of life that God instructs takes us further away from Him and our salvation. By turning this principle around -- making small improvements to our spiritual lives over time instead of compromises -- we draw closer to God without having to make dramatic changes.
Why are we teaching that the ancient Roman Empire would be revived ten times, and that nine of these ten revivals have already occurred? Why do we teach that right now, the final and last revival is happening in Europe, which will culminate in the return of Jesus Christ? Do you know the historical proofs? Are you convicted of the truth, or are you just “believing” it because the Church teaches it?
The Bible clearly tells us we will be tested. What must we do to pass life's tests?
