THE GLOBAL CHURCH IN THE LAST DAYS
INTRODUCTION
THE GLOBAL CHURCH IN THE LAST DAYS is a Christ-centered Biblical study designed to help believers understand the spiritual condition of the Church and the challenges facing humanity as we move toward the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible gives us clear warnings concerning the last days. Jesus spoke about deception, lawlessness, persecution, spiritual coldness, false teachers, and the need for His followers to remain watchful. The apostles likewise warned that difficult times would come and that believers would need spiritual discernment, endurance, holiness, and unwavering faith.
This study is not intended to create fear or encourage speculation about dates and times. Instead, it is a call to wake up, return to Biblical truth, strengthen our relationship with God, and live faithfully before Christ.
The world around us is constantly changing. Values shift, cultures change, technology advances, and human beings increasingly seek to define truth according to personal desires. Yet the Word of God remains the foundation upon which the child of God must build.
The Church has been called to be salt and light in the earth. We are not called to surrender to the darkness around us, nor are we called to become consumed by it. We are called to represent Jesus Christ through our character, our conduct, our testimony, our love, our holiness, our service, and our obedience to God's Word.
This booklet will explore important Biblical subjects including spiritual deception, the condition of the Church, holiness, discernment, prayer, the work of the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare, Christian service, endurance, and readiness for Christ's return.
Most importantly, this study is a reminder that the last days are not merely about what is happening around the believer. They are also about what is happening within the believer.
Are we still walking with Christ?
Are we still seeking holiness?
Are we still standing on the Word of God?
Are we still loving people?
Are we still willing to serve?
Are we spiritually awake?
The answer to these questions matters.
The hour is calling the Church to greater faithfulness—not greater fear. It is calling believers to return to the simplicity of devotion to Jesus Christ, to know the Scriptures, to walk in the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and to remain faithful regardless of what happens in the world.
The darkness may increase, but the light of Christ has not diminished.
Therefore, let us watch. Let us pray. Let us grow. Let us serve. Let us stand firmly upon the truth of God's Word.
And above all, let us keep our eyes upon Jesus Christ.
“But understand this, that in the last days perilous times will come.” — 2 Timothy 3:1
This is the hour to be spiritually awake.
This is the hour to be Biblically grounded.
This is the hour to live intentionally for Christ.
The Lord is coming. Let His Church be found faithful.
