If you want absolute confidence in your salvation and eternal security, ask yourself how much you long for Jesus to return and bring you into his eternal presence.

The empire of man beckons us to stay here, to eat of its delights and pleasures and securities and comforts.

The empire of self beckons Jesus to tarry, revealing the things of this world are more central than Jesus is.

Jesus is coming soon, and when he comes, he brings his rewards with him.
