Ephesians 1:11-14 (NIV)
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined
according to the plan of him who works out everything in
conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we,
who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for
the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in
Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of
your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in
him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit
guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those
who are God’s possession–to the praise of his glory.

John 14:1-3 (NIV)
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God;
believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms;
if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going
there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with
me that you also may be where I am.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 (ESV)
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers,
about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as
others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will
bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we
declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are
alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not
precede those who have fallen asleep.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (ESV)
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a
cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with
the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ
will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will
be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
18
Therefore encourage one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 (ESV)
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you
have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you
yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will
come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying,
“There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction
will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant
woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in
darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a
thief. 5 For you are all children of light, children of the
day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.

1 Thessalonians 5:6-11 (ESV)
So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep
awake and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night,
and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8 But since
we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the
breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of
salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to
obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who
died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we
might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another
and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Yes, the Sovereign LORD is coming in power.
He will rule with a powerful arm.
See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.
He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
He will carry the lambs in his arms,
holding them close to his heart.
He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
