Hello, brothers and sisters. I'm just Joe No Tidal, and thank you for joining me for the Lord's Word of God today. And we know that all things work out in the end for those who love the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. And so, brothers and sisters, if you brought your Bibles to Matthew chapter 25, and Jesus gives a parable reading from verse 1. And the kingdom of heaven will be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delaying, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard. Behold, the bridegroom is coming. Go out and meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But the wise answered and said, No, lest there should not be enough for us and you. But go rather to those who sell and buy for yourself. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him to the wedding. And the door was shut. Afterwards the other virgins came, saying to him, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said to them, Assuredly I say to you, I do not know you. Watch then therefore, for you know neither the day or the hour when the Son of Man is coming. So, brothers and sisters, we all need to be ready to meet our Maker face to face. So the bride is the church, and the marriage is the eternal union of the church with Christ following the rapture. And so, brothers and sisters, if you belong to a church who is a genuine Christian church who believes the Son of God, Jesus Christ, came incarnated from heaven, died, was buried and arose for your sins, and teaches repentance to receive the Holy Spirit. Those are the churches that are part of the Church of God. Now, the virgins that did not have the oil, which is the Holy Spirit, remember, virgin represents purity. These are good people, brothers and sisters, but they do not have the Holy Spirit. These would be churches like the Mormon Church or Jehovah's Witness. We live by God's word and will. And Jesus says, In that day I do not say to pray to me, but pray to the Father in my name. And whatever you pray for, you will receive it. But the Catholics pray to Mary, so you can add them to that list. So, brothers and sisters, you must have the Holy Spirit to be a child of God. In Acts 2.38, it's very clear. The word of God says, Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. And to repent is to follow Jesus in obedience. So let us continue and read up every day and pray up every day. Keep the love of Jesus in our hearts, and we will all be with our Lord and Savior for eternity.
