Blessings in Christ,
 
Scripture says that He is coming when we least expect (Matt. 24: 44). Do you know what this really means, because most likely, it's not what you expect!
 
This scripture verse isn't referring to knowing or not knowing the time of His coming, for we can know the exact time of His coming and still be found expecting (not be found worthy). I remind you of 1 Cor. 13, that even if we have all knowledge, and have not love (ceasing from the sins of the flesh), it means nothing.
 
Living a holy lifestlye is not a diet, putting forth effort to lose weight for a moment in time, and after losing the amount we desire, to then bing alittle, for we feel we've earned it.  Living a holy lifestyle is a complete re-conditioning of the heart and mind, having repented from the worldly lusts, as we do the true doctrine of Christ, strengthening the inner man/woman, as our surrendering to Him increases our holiness, allowing Him to do His work in us, as we continually abide in Him, and He in us.
 
Do a spiritual check with yourself and be brutally honest. Are you living like the diet, living emotionally, putting on strength only when you feel its time?, because if you are, this won't make it. To live a holy lifestyle is making the decision to live His way, NO MATTER WHAT!  The person who has decided to live for Christ has sanctified themselves (set apart from the world for a holy purpose), having ceased from doing the sins of the flesh, because they know they can do it, for with God all things are possible (Mk. 9: 23; 10: 27). When temptation comes, because they have sanctified themselves, they don't give into it, for they know that those things lead to death.  Scripture says,
 
"Whosoever abides in Him sins not; whoever sins has not seen Him, neither known Him" (1 Jn. 3: 6), and again it says,
 
"We know that whosoever is born of God sins not; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not" (1 Jn. 5: 18).
 
You must train (exercise) yourself in righteousness and true holiness like your life depended upon it, because it does!!!
 
IN Christ,
Greg
 
P.S.  I don't know this for fact, only as scripture reads, but I really think any person holding onto the false doctrine, which claims we cannot cease from dong the sins of the flesh, that when they miss the Rapture (and they will, except they repent now), they will not ever come to Christ, because they refused to believe the true gospel/doctrine, God sending a strong delusion that they should believe the lie.
I think there is a mindset that if we tell people to not take the mark now, when that time does come, some will refuse the mark, because of us telling them.  I don't see this at all!!  If they won't believe God's word, why should they believe us? They've made their decision.
If the religious and unbelievers alike miss the Rapture, it's only because of one thing: they refused to believe the true gospel/doctrine of Christ, which tells and teaches us that we can cease from sin, the very thing Christ died for.
 
As Christ said from the beginning of His ministry, it remains the same until the rapture: REPENT!!!!
 
Therefore who are those coming to Christ during the tribulation?  Is it not them the Lord resumes His attention to, the Jews, as He pours out His Holy Spirit, along with the two witnessess and the 144,000?
 
This is just something to seriously consider if you think an unbeliever or religious person can still make it later.
