Setting: Luke 21:28 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16. It is the return of Jesus Christ - we look up, redemption is near, shouts of angels, etc. The very event we have spent our lives anticipating is happening. It is the 1st Resurrection! Scary Question: What if you or I don't rise? Imagine the confusion, the absolute sense of panic, the dread, the disappointment that will wash over us. Question is, why will one not rise? Answer is there is no one reason why one will not be made a spiritual being. In fact, there may be hundreds of reasons, but there is one issue that is prophesied to affect all in the end time church. Four reasons given for staying motivated.
