Since Jesus has sent us another Paraclete, our Helper, we ought to cry out for help to God and the Holy Spirit

Since we do not know the day nor the hour when Christ will return, we ought to watch, be ready, and be engaging in the good works of love he has given us to do and so receive a blessing when he comes again.

Since Christ's return is a central truth of our faith, we ought to confess our faith in it, place our hope in it, and let it align our love.

Since Christ has given a great tribulation us a sign of his immanent return, we ought to seek God's grace to endure and persevere in faith until the end.

Since Scripture gives the revealing of the Antichrist as one of the signs of Christ's return, we ought to seek to understand Scripture's teaching about him so that we will not be alarmed or deceived

Since a sign of Christ’s return is the proclamation of the gospel to the whole world, we ought to personally and corporately engage in Christ’s mission to the world and so prepare for and hasten his return.

Since Christ has assured us that the end times are preceded by woes and birth pains, we should not be startled by the events around us but remain steadfast in our faith, alert in prayer and faithful in our mission.

Since the Lord has given us hope through the prophecies in his Word, we ought to pay attention to the prophecies and treasure them.
