What does the Bible say about being ready to meet God?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible instructs us to be ready for the coming of Christ, as indicated in Luke 12:40, where it states that He will come at an unexpected hour.
Scripture emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the return of Christ. Luke 12:40 warns us, 'Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not.' This readiness involves living a life of faith, actively seeking God, and being cognizant of our spiritual state. The parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:13-21) serves as a sobering reminder that earthly possessions do not guarantee readiness. Ultimately, it is through faith in Christ and recognition of our need for salvation that we come to a state of preparation.
