“Thus says the LORD: Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed.” -Isaiah 56:1
Just as Jesus said that only the Father knows the day of Christ’s return, neither do we know the day we will be called to meet Him. I once drove down a road and "knew" I was surely going to Heaven, and then God called me and opened my eyes. Now I drive down that same road with true knowledge that while He calls us to have faith, and that faith without works is dead, it is only through the mercy of the Son that we will ever enter into the Kingdom.
