Hopefully I'll be found with Him! I agree, we shall all be surprised. That said, it doesn't seem as simple as believing the right doctrinal teaching. Or simply calling Him Lord. Truly a relationship that honors Him and a heart won by Him. Once sealed always sealed, but who has been sealed?! For none is deserving! No doubt many have busied themselves with the work of the Lord. Yet have lacked a daily and or growing relationship! Not by knowledge, not works, not lifestyle, but by my Spirit sayeth the Lord! TR And yet many will hear: get the from Me, I never knew you! TR Yes sir TR and —- Actually the whole first chapter is awesome! Ephesians 1:3-8 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight ... :prayer-hands: God knows those that are sealed! TR I agree we are going to be so surprised who makes heaven and we will be rejoicing with them that they did make it. :yes: Back in the early 2000’s I used to listen to a Radio Bible Station while driving into work and the time slot was with a church out in Clifton Park, NY. The pastor was talking about this same subject of being surprised by who makes heaven. He gave an example with movie star, Rock Hudson. A lady in his church relocated from Southern California and she informed him she was assigned the task of being the home hospice care worker for ... Rock Hudson. She claims she witnessed to him and on his deathbed Rock repented of his gay lifestyle and accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Yet nothing is said of this in his bio from Wikipedia ... all it says is he flew to Paris hoping to be cured there, but it wasn’t anything they could do. Then ... “Hudson flew back to Los Angeles on July 30. He was so weak that he was removed by stretcher from the Air France Boeing 747 he had chartered, and on which he and his medical attendants were the only passengers. He was flown by helicopter to UCLA Medical Center, where he spent nearly a month undergoing further treatment. He was released from the hospital in late August 1985 and returned to his home, "The Castle", in Beverly Hills, California, for private hospice care.” - Fair Use - So it was during that home private hospice care time the Lord arranged for this faithful Born Again worker to be the one to share the Good News with him. Isn’t that cool? —————— Speaking about cool ... driving home from shopping I saw the most beautiful cloud formation in the sky. It wasn’t just in one area but across the entire sky. They looked like rapture clouds! Unbelievable ... white puffy clouds (like cotton balls) against the robin blue sky. I wish I had my ipad with me I would have pulled over to take a few incredible pictures. I felt chills going down my spine just looking up at them. I really thought this was it! A few cars did pull over to take snap shots. I am sooo hoping tomorrow, Father’s Day, will be our time to fly out of here! :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup:
