Motivations for Rapture Belief: 1. Salvation & Eternal Life - Believers see it as God's promise to rescue faithful Christians from judgment and tribulation 2. Escaping Tribulation - Many believe the Rapture will spare believers from end-times suffering and God's wrath 3. Reunion with Christ - Meeting Jesus face-to-face fulfills the ultimate Christian hope Why Preparation is Considered Important: 1. Unknown Timing - Jesus said "no one knows the day or hour" (Matthew 24:36), so believers must always be ready 2. Spiritual Readiness - Requires maintaining faith, living righteously, and having a personal relationship with Jesus 3. Eternal Consequences - Those "left behind" face tribulation and potential damnation 4. Accountability - Believers will give account for their lives before Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10) 5. Urgency of Faith - Motivates evangelism and personal commitment before it's "too late" Key Preparations Include: - Accepting Jesus as Savior - Regular prayer and Bible study - Living morally according to Christian teachings - Sharing the Gospel with others - Watching for signs of the end times
