Longing For His Appearing Pt. 6

In today's message, Derek Prince emphasizes the importance of longing for the return of Christ, which he argues is essential for the completion of our salvation, the consummation of our union with Christ and fellow believers, and the ultimate hope for a suffering humanity. He cites Romans 8, where Paul speaks of the creation's longing for redemption, and highlights that our salvation is not fully realized until we receive our glorified bodies at Christ's return. Prince outlines that this longing should manifest in our lives through practical expressions of holiness and love, as urged in Titus 2:11-14, where the grace of God instructs us to live righteously while anticipating Christ's glorious return.

Prince further discusses the necessity of maintaining a standard of holiness motivated by the expectation of Christ's return, referencing 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13, which speaks of being established in holiness before God. He warns that all material things are temporary, as stated in 2 Peter 3:9-14, and encourages believers to focus on spiritual realities. The challenge is clear: to live in peace, be spotless, and blameless, ensuring our lives reflect our longing for Christ's return. Are we living in a manner that prepares us for that day?
