Waiting for the Lord's coming involves active anticipation, trust, and living according to His promises as we look forward to His return.
To wait for the Lord's coming is not a passive activity but an active engagement in our faith. It requires us to live in accordance with His WORD, nurturing our hearts toward a hope that is certain. In the sermon, we are urged to remain focused on Christ, setting our affections on Him and being expectant of His return. This involves trusting in His promises, living righteously, and sharing the gospel as we prepare our hearts and lives for that glorious day. Waiting also fosters a sense of community among believers who share this hope, encouraging one another as we look forward to Christ's return. As we live in light of His second coming, we develop a deeper reliance on His grace, which cultivates a vibrant and living faith.
