Shall He find Faith on the Earth?

<< < (2/2)

E. Woods:
YES YES YES

Richard D:
George.

If Jesus comes back today, he will find faith in me, that for sure, but tomorrow I don’t know, because I don’t know what tomorrow holds in store for me.  :)

                                        In His Love. Richard.

aqrinc:
To All who Hear His Voice.

This is not funny but dead serious; We can be sure because God Has Already done it for us
In Christ Jesus. Ours is to walk where he leads and: TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW.
                                                                      Please note the above is a shout of Joy.
Again The Scriptures Say:

Psalms 37:24:
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

Psalms 145:14:
The LORD upholds all that fall, and raises up all those that be bowed down.

Isaiah 42:1:
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit
on him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Romans 8:30:
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Romans 9:24:
Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

I Corinthians 1:9:
God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hebrews 1:3:
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding
all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on
the right hand of the Majesty on high:

Our Great and Mighty Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

George.

Excerpt from Ray's paper 'Winning Souls for Jesus' (http://bible-truths.com/souls.htm):

Are there really two billion faith-filled Christians in the world today? Have the Scriptures been proven wrong? Is prophecy way out of wack? Did Jesus’ gospel produce more fruit than He had anticipated in this present wicked age? Did Jesus miss-calculate how many believers would be here to greet Him upon His return? Do two billion professing Christians make Jesus a false prophet? Here is the prophecy from Jesus’ own mouth:

"…SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?"

Here is a prophecy of Jesus concerning how much faith He expected to find on earth when He comes to establish His Kingdom in the earth:

"And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall He find FAITH on the earth? (Luke 18:7-8).

The answer of course is: "Little: He shall not find but very little faith." But don’t take my word for it. Notice what Dr. Strong says regarding this word ara translated "shall" in the King James:

G687 a???a ara ar'-ah "A form of G686, denoting an interrogation to which a negative answer is presumed: - therefore."

This Greek word "PRESUMES a NEGATIVE answer." Jesus asked a rhetorical question the answer to which was obvious, and therefore needed no answer—OF COURSE He will find virtually no faith on the earth when He comes! That is because "many are called but few are chosen." And only among the "few chosen" do we find the "chosen and faithful" (Rev. 17:14).

Many of these two billion Christians are the result of huge winning souls for Jesus campaigns, rallies, revivals and conferences. They are counted as believers based on repeating some form of the sinner’s prayer. When tens of thousands are encouraged to repeat a sinner’s prayer at one of these evangelistic meetings, they are then pronounced "saved." But are they really? Only God is the final Judge, however, I have already shown you what the Scriptures say.



Matt. 22:14  For Many are Called, Few are Chosen

Matt. 10:22  And ye (you all; few; chosen) shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved [He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death...Rev.2:11]
