3. Prepare To Meet Your God
Amos 4:6-12

4. A Failure To Take It Seriously
The need is universal (Heb. 9:27; 2 Cor. 5:10; Acts 17:31)
Why aren’t more people making preparations?
“Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people”
No one stumbles into heaven or gets in by accident
We make preparations—NOW!

5. A Failure To Take It Seriously
Some may think they will be able to make a “death bed confession”
Still others are seemingly able to conveniently dismiss the need
A lame excuse
Don’t want to be bothered
Some DO prepare (Acts 7:59; 2 Tim. 4:6-8; Rev. 22:20)

6. Warnings To Prepare
Matthew 25: The ten virgins (1-13); the talents (14- 30); the sheep and the goats (31-46)
Other teaching (Matt. 6:19-20; Titus 2:11-15)
Despite these warnings, a majority of people:
Live without God
Have no fear of God
Set at naught God’s authority
Do not observe God’s works or mark His judgments
Live and act as if there is no God

7. What Preparation Is Needed?
The kind that is Scriptural
God’s way (Jer. 10:23)
Not something else (Rev. 22:18-19)
Prepare on this wise:
Have faith in Christ (Jn. 8:24; Heb. 11:6)
Repent (Acts 17:30)
Confess faith in Christ (Matt. 10:32)
Be baptized (Mk. 16:16)
Be faithful (Rom. 12:1-2)
