"But who may abide the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appeareth?" Malachi 3:2
The only ones that will be able to abide the day of Christ's coming and to stand when He appears are those whose sins are covered by the blood of Jesus. Christ's righteousness alone will stand the test. There is no good deed that we can do that will make us ready.
We cannot stand for the right except as we yield our desires and hearts over to the Lord. He will cause us to hunger and thirst after righteousness so that we may be filled. He will be looking for those whose hearts and lives have been placed on the altar and who desire only the will of the Lord for their lives. Oh may each of us be covered by the blood of Jesus and clothed with His righteousness.
Oh help me to abide in Christ
Because of His great sacrifice.
We'll all be ready by His new birth
When He comes again to this sin-cursed earth.
