The only preparation anyone can do is to be in the Holy Spirit. The five virgins who were full of the Holy Spirit went with God. The five foolish virgins who didn't have enough oil were with God and those filled with the Holy Spirit but they had never been born again. They had tasted of the Holy Spirit by being with the other filled 9born again) virgins but they were not themselves born again.
Matthew 7:21-23
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Matthew 7:21-23 is the most frightening passage in the Bible. Many people have good works, go to church gatherings every week, have graduated from Bible college or seminary, even speak some of God's Words and preach from pulpits, while having many followers, but they have never been born again. This article is for their warning.
Imagine expecting to be saved only to reach heaven to be turned away?
Think about it!!!
