I John 2:28-29
We believe with all of our hearts that Jesus Christ is coming back, amen? Jesus promised that He would return; we believe that.

I John 2:28-29 addresses this very thing. (Read I John 2:28-29)The second coming of Christ is one of the great doctrines in the New Testament. One out of every twenty verses is said to deal with the doctrine of the second coming of Jesus Christ.

There is a sense in the minds and hearts of believers that we only have a short time to do what we're going to do for the Lord.
Believers everywhere seem to sense that time is running out, that ...
