The effect of the Rapture
divides the righteous from the unrighteous.
The righteous are caught up to Christ
to be with him forever
and to go with him into heaven.
Those who are not righteous
remain on earth for the Tribulation.
But as many during that time
who receive the gospel,
will be counted as righteous.
Who are the righteous?
All those who trust Christ to regard
his perfect righteousness theirs
so that they have eternal life.
Who are the unrighteous?
All those who trust their own
righteousness of self and refuse
the gift of righteousness
Christ purchased for us
by his blood on the cross.
What gospel tells of the righteousness
of Christ regarded as ours?
The real Scriptural gospel that Christ showed to begin
the Reformation but that is hardly heard today:
The moment Christ gives us faith to stop trusting our
"righteousness" and start trusting him to regard his
own perfect righteousness ours, we have eternal life.
What gospel has the "righteousness" of self?
The false gospel so popular today that falsely claims
salvation comes by surrender, and that saves no one.
