JD – appears to be in a lot of pain this week, we should keep him in our prayers. I think it was his back from what I have pieced together. Even through the pain, he does an amazing job of laying out the answer to:
Why the rapture?
Where do we see this in God’s word? (In more places than you think)
Why do we not see the words rapture in the bible? (It Greek to me, literally!)
And finally why it is important to believe God’s word about the rapture?
What really gives us hope? Our Blessed Hope and Blessed Assurance!

If you’re not certain you’re saved, here is what you should do, right now:
-
Acknowledge that you have sinned against a holy God and ask for forgiveness (even if you don’t feel you deserve it) (Rom. 3:23). Genuinely feel the pain of your sin and be willing to turn from it (repent) (Acts 3:19).
-
Believe in your heart and mind that Jesus is the Son of God, that he died on the cross for you (John 3:1-18) in your place, and was raised back to life. There is no one else you can turn to (John 14:6): “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
-
Confess that you are trusting Jesus as your personal Savior. Since Jesus is alive, you can talk to him. This is called prayer. So talk to him right now, in your own words, accept his invitation to know him.
It’s simple faith through grace, the kind of faith a little child would have.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Eph. 2:8-9)
