Scripture of The Day 

“When the son of man comes, shall He find faith on the earth.?”  (Luke 18:8)

 

According to 1 Thessalonians 4:16, when Jesus returns to the earth the Christians will be caught up in the air to be with Him. From that point on, we who are Christians will be with Him forever. As Christians, we know this and we are anxiously expecting and looking for His return. But let me ask you something. When Jesus returns, what will He be looking for? What will He be expecting to find on the earth?

Jesus made an interesting statement in Luke that is often overlooked and untaught. In Luke 18:8 while speaking a parable, Jesus said, “when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the
earth?”
What will Jesus be looking for when He returns? He will be looking for faith! When Jesus returns, He will be coming for His Church. He will expect the Church to be spotless and without blemish. Jesus will not be returning for a puny, beat down Church but He will be looking for a Church that is victorious, powerful, and full of faith. For the Church to have faith when Jesus comes back, we must believe what God says and act on those beliefs. It will not do any good to believe God
unless we put our beliefs into action. That is faith!

When we have faith, we can overcome the things of the world. Now don’t get me wrong. We won’t eliminate all our problems. Satan and his demonic forces will always be trying to destroy us, but we will be able to go through our trials without fear, knowing that God always does what He says.

Faith is a substance and a gift of God (Hebrews 11:1; Ephesians 2:8). We can accept it and develop it, or we can reject it. But remember this. When Jesus returns, and He will, He will be looking for it. Do you have it?

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews  11:6)
