Father, You are sovereign, You are in all, through all and above all. We come to thank You for Your plan of salvation. We are born once physically and reborn spiritually when we accept and believe that Jesus, who was sinless, died once for us to pay for our sins. He will return as King of kings and Lord of lords, accompanied by the saints in heaven, to gather the saved and reign. Even so, come, Lord Jesus, not by our timing, but by the calling from the Father to return. Father, we wait expectantly in the precious name and powerful authority, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
βAnd as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.β (Hebrews: 9 27-28 NKJV)
