This sermon centers on the urgent call to examine one's spiritual condition and resolve to live faithfully for the Lord in the coming year, emphasizing that eternity is imminent and preparation is essential. Drawing from key passages such as Hebrews 9:27, John 5:24–29, and the covenantal promise 'I will be their God and they shall be my people,' it underscores the mutual, intimate relationship between God and His people, rooted in divine initiative and requiring personal response. The preacher challenges listeners to assess their spiritual state through self-examination, identifying whether the issue is unregenerate life or spiritual stagnation, and calls for radical, intentional discipleship marked by daily Scripture engagement, consistent prayer, family worship, church involvement, and the elimination of distractions. Ultimately, the message is a pastoral, convicting summons to embrace a transformed life characterized by obedience, love for God and others, and a heart fully devoted to Christ, ensuring that believers are not only saved but growing in grace and readiness for His return.
