How to Headcover

Greetings godly sisters! 

Today I am going to share what you can do to fulfill the Lord's command to cover your head and hair. 

The way I prefer is a large square of lightweight fabric folded in half diagonally and then tied at the neck. 

Another way is a pre-tied slip on one made of knit fabric (to provide some stretch to get it on easier)....

And just in case it can help someone, a clip like this really helps hold your hair up in a bun all day. 

So I want to show you how you can sew these coverings yourself if you have opportunity. (If not, I can sew them for you or find some on my store here.) 

Here is the first and easiest way. A simple square of lightweight fabric. I use 100% cotton voile or lawn fabric. 

Make sure you cut a really straight and square edge as your starting point to measure the rest from. I usually make mine around 75cm (30 inches) square. You can go larger, but a little smaller if your fabric is narrower could work for women with not a lot of hair or for girls. (Add a little for hem allowance when cutting.) 

When cut you can briefly fold it into a triangle to see if it's a reasonably good square and it should line up. 

Then sew a very narrow hem around all the edges of the square. I use an overlocker to do a rolled hem but if you don't have one you can figure out how to use a sewing machine stitch or just do a usual but very narrow double folded hem. 

Next, here is how to sew the slip on headcovering.

I just pulled apart a ready made one I already had. A sister showed me how to sew this type originally...so thank you sister! It can be a bit tricky but it doesn't have to turn out perfect...just functional:-) Use a lightweight knit fabric. 

(I added on extra to the headcovering I had though.) 


Here are the measurements I used... 

Finish the sides of the triangle. Or you can even skip this step if you like, as knit fabrics don't usually fray. (This will save you a lot of trouble if you skip this actually:-) It may fray a little as it is cut on an angle but not much. 

Then hem the long edge... 

(It's possible that step can be skipped too though I haven't tried it.) Use a long and narrow zig zag stitch. This keeps some stretch in it so the thread won't break. You may need to stabilise the hem with fusible tape or thin paper if it's puckering up too much as you sew. 

Now fold the triangle in half and measure about 25cms (9.5") along the top edge. Mark this on both sides of the fabric. This will give you the right starting point for the next step. 

Then unfold and draw a shape starting from the points you drew that looks roughly like this... 

As you can see, mine is not the best there:-) 

You can make it 5cms (2") from the edge along the straight sides... 

And 12 cms (5") up from the bottom point of the triangle... 

Just trying to give you some reference points to work with. 

This is to mark a line where you will add a gathering stitch next... 

Sew with your machine on it's longest stitch length. Do not backstitch. And then pull on one thread to gather the fabric up until it cannot gather any more. Just be careful not to break the thread, so be gentle. 

Then pull on either side of the stitch line to straighten it all. (Otherwise you will be sewing bunches of the wrong fabric when you sew the elastic in.)

I use about 12cm (5") of 5mm (1/4") thin elastic... 

Pin it in place across the stitch line on the inside of the covering... 

You will probably need to stretch it a little as you go to make it reach the other side. Set your machine on a narrow zigzag stitch (test on scrap fabric beforehand) and sew slowly all the way across. You may have to pull it through gently as there's a lot of bulk to sew over. 

So now you're done! I hope it turned out well for you... 

And most of all I hope that you're striving to be a godly woman in all ways as the Lord has changed your heart by the gospel. See that here. Let me know if I can help or encourage you! 

Love in Christ, 

Michaela

Today's Encouragement (19 July 2023)

 

Greetings sisters! 

I hope all is well with each of you and that wherever you are on this earth you are standing strong in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, shining your lights! 

(Thank you sisters for the scriptures etc!) 

He is worthy of all praise and honour and glory! He is worthy of our life given up for Him to do His will and not our own. He has been so good to us to send a Saviour to save us from our sins which were leading us to death (and of course still do if we live in them wilfully). 

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Revelation 5:12

Next scripture reading to edify us sisters... 

And it's one we sisters definitely should know well. Well it's one specifically for us isn't it speaking of the headship order from creation. And we submit to that order and headcovering is an outward sign of this. So many rebel and say things have changed today and that women and men are equal...but from the beginning of creation it wasn't so! We do know we are all one in Christ but yet we are created different and nothing but resurrected glorified bodies will change that when we are like the angels of God. Let us godly sisters submit to our roles and rejoice to be who God created us to be! 

Good dry day for working in the garden again... 

A lot of weeds to pull! 

Reality of working in the garden... 

Skirts dragging in the dirt...but that's just fine as we have washing machines (or at least plenty of water to wash with) and extra clean clothes to change into if needed. We are blessed. Sometimes I think of all the people out there who don't have the luxuries/blessings that we do if I'm concerned about being dirty or something like that. 

Was gleaning under-ripe pumpkins from the dead vines amongst the tall weeds too... 

Still like finding treasures as they still can be used! 

Reminding me of how God provided for the poor by commanding the people in the harvest time to leave some for them. 

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 

And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19:9-10

And today we also know we are to be ready to help the truly needy though in our extravagant cultures those are rare. Or people are poor because of sinful habits and bad life choices and decisions so it can be hard to know sometimes. We know we are to be content with food and raiment.

My day is over... 

...with pretty colours God created. Always much to see of what He made on this earth even though man has made a lot of bad things and spoiled some of it. God still reigns and He will set it right one day sisters! 

Well I guess that's all from me today. Hopefully it was edifying and encouraging somehow. The Lord's Word is good! Hold fast sisters and be of good cheer! 

Love in Christ,

Why Does a Christian Woman Headcover?

 

Greetings godly sisters! 

How's your life in the Lord going? Steadfast and strong or weak and wavering?

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."

1 Corinthians 15:58

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

Ephesians 4:14

I would like to do a post on head covering for women. It is a simple yet deep subject; a much confused and ignored and disobeyed command of God for His people, His women. 

The simple answer to why Christian women wear headcoverings is that God commands it. 

There are many false views on it though and no I don't claim to know it all but it is no surprise really that in the last century or two this practice, for those who call themselves Christian, has been largely abandoned. It went along with MANY other compromises and sins in those claiming Christ in recent times. 

Why would we listen to just anyone who calls themselves Christians or believers when we know in this age, false teachers and apostasy abounds? Paul was even very concerned about error entering in and we can read much about deception coming in and that is upon us now like no other time...including in this area of headcovering. Remember also in the Garden how Eve was deceived and today with feminism it isn't any different.

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."

Acts 20:29-30

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of."

2 Peter 2:1-2

And for those who still do practice women's head covering it is either out of their tradition, or what they are used to, or along with a certain denomination, or done in an unbiblical manner, or done as a personal preference or desire (like the woman I wrote about on this post). Many seem to think it is something optional or a "non-essential" (which doesn't exist as no command of God is not essential to be obeyed.) as if you see it in scripture and are convicted about it do it, and if not you do not have to. But so few see it as a command. And why does finding and obeying the commands of God matter? If a woman claims to be a believer and has become a new creation through the new birth via the biblical gospel, then she will be looking to obey the Lord out of her love for Him and by the Spirit in her. The Spirit will convict her and lead her to obey this command because of her faith. He will give her power to obey this and put down her own flesh. 

It is a large subject one connected to our meek and quiet role as women, all of which cannot be covered in this one post. 

Let God's Word speak for itself...for those who have ears to hear. Here is the scripture that sets out this command for women saints. Keep in mind that women right from early on in the Bible and in various places are seen covering their heads. 

Paul writes.... 

"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."

1 Corinthians 11:1-16

He was praising them for keeping what he had previously taught them and he went on to tell them this, writing in detail why a woman is to cover her head. Praise God He told us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3) for us as women. (And we can also read in Acts 18 that Paul had already spent 18 months teaching truth to the believers in Corinth.).

And we can go back and read Paul's opening statements of the letter and it is written to all saints everywhere. 

"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"

1 Corinthians 1:1-2

And this area of scripture that teaches women to headcover really doesn't need much explanation and is reasonably straight forward. It says for man to be unveiled and a woman veiled because man is her head. It says it is a shame for a woman to be shaven and have short hair. It says nature teaches woman with long hair is her glory (and man with long hair is his shame). It says a woman is to be covered because of the angels...and much more. 

And so now we have women (who claim to be believers and therefore praying) showing their glory with uncovered heads which God says is shameful and uncomely for her to do. As a side note, it reminds me of these verses...people have turned glory into shame. 

"Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"

Philippians 3:17-19

There are many or most women who glory in their uncovered heads which is their shame. 

Because it says that to be uncovered is one and the same things as being shaved bald...both shameful for a woman. 

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven."
1 Corinthians 11:5

Oh, people say, it's just a custom at Corinth. No it's not. Paul is teaching on the order that God created from the beginning and he lays it out for the saints as this. 

God

Christ

Man

Woman

Nothing about a custom or culture or anything there. We know from the beginning that God created the woman for the man, so he is her head. And that is where women are not the spiritual leaders and teachers. She is to cover her head because of this for one reason. To not do so is to dishonour her head (man). 

Also another fact to consider is that what Paul wrote were God's commands. So many don't take that seriously.

And see this what he wrote in this same letter...

"If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."
1 Corinthians 14:37

Wow, that is serious. And we know the scriptures were inspired by the Holy Spirit/God Himself. So if you are wondering whether headcovering really is to be obeyed today you need to ponder all these things and go where the facts lead and obey. 

And we know... 

"And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
Luke 4:4

So knowing these things really helped me to see through the lies and deception I had heard all my life from Christianity in general. But honestly the Holy Spirit will convict in this...if we are truly seeking. 

And study the Greek words as well...especially note that the word covering in verse 15 is a different original word to the ones used above it to say a woman is to be covered. 

If a woman isn't seeking all truth and willing to lose her life for Christ, then there may be parts of scripture that she ignores and doesn't want to look at it too deeply for fear of what it will say and mean to her. That was me in the past sadly. But I repented and left that lukewarmness and sin behind. So if you are reading this I hope you are seeking all of God's truth to obey it. As James says... 

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
James 1:22

Don't deceive yourself by not obeying. Disobedience is sin and sin not repented of leads to death not salvation. 

Women who claim to be born again believers need to examine themselves and see if they truly are, and study this area and obey it no matter the cost. (They will need to stop looking to their pastors or trusting the teachings of the theologians who they think know better and are unbiblical. I mean, we are responsible before God and today so many false teachers abound.) If you have the Holy Spirit and the Word then that is really all you need. Study the Word and put away all the unbiblical teachings of men and women who are not biblical. Yes it is easy and a dangerous thing to get swept away if we aren't discerning and if we compromise in any areas but learning the state of apostasy of "the church" is a huge wake up call to get serious and run from that as it goes deeper into more sin.

Let us cling fast to the truth we do have in the Word.

"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."

2 Thessalonians 2:15

And then we need to obey this too...separation from those departing from sound doctrine, from those who refuse to obey in this area of headcovering once shown the truth of it. 

"Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us."

2 Thessalonians 3:6

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

Psalm 1:1

There is no room for "different opinions". It is pride and vanity to think we can ignore this because it isn't popular today and our flesh doesn't like it.

"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."

1 Corinthians 1:10

So that's what I have to write on that. There would be much more to say but if a woman is truly seeking then she can see what it says for herself. 

Yep, if you've never worn a covering before then yes it could be really hard at first in the flesh but we have to walk in the Spirit, fear and obey God, and not fear man. Remember the rich young ruler who couldn't give up one thing to follow Christ. Can you give up your "reputation" and uncovered head (which is shameful) in order to follow Christ? I hope so. I hope you will obey. 

Remember this... 

"And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;"

Hebrews 5:9

You can see a post I did here on what a woman can wear for a covering. 

Well I hope that could edify and bless the readers as we all strive on to be obedient to our Lord and Saviour in all our ways, having been born by the Spirit.

Love in Christ,

Headcoverings and Sewing Them

 

Good day sisters around the globe! 

I hope, one more day, you are in the Lord striving on in His ways, not giving up or being slowly lured away. Let us sister soldiers march on!

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13-14

Today I wanted to share some on how I sew and wear headcoverings. 

First...

And we know the answer to that from God is, no. I will be doing (if the Lord gives me more days) a further post on head covering and why we are to do it etc from 1 Corinthians 11. I realise I don't have a specific post on it yet. But for today I share some of what I do. Head covering is to be a part of our everyday attire as godly women.

Yesterday I received this message reply from a woman I contacted from my sewing shop.

I had sent her the gospel and a link on why cape dresses are not biblical. (She had not contacted me direct at first but I read on her profile that she was after someone to sew her cape dresses and she had liked my headcoverings and so I reached out.). I then told her I don't sew cape dresses for that reason, (let alone the fact they are difficult to sew and I never tried). Praise God for opportunities to share truth with lost souls and we can use it as an example of what not to be.

I understand there are many people going around saying and trying to teach why Christian women dress "modest". But the main reason we are to dress and cover ourselves properly is because God commands us to after we sinned in the Garden. And if we obey God's commands, we are dressed biblically and that is different from human standards of "modesty", which change with time and culture. (You can see more of my posts on women's clothing here. God does tell us how to dress.). If a woman is a new creation in Christ through the new birth, then she will strive to obey God and not what she wants. 

And I know that most women who see that God does command a covering don't want to do it because of what people will think. But they must fight against their flesh and overcome. That woman who messaged me said she covered and wore a dress because SHE wanted to. Yes when I repented of not covering it was really hard in my flesh to start wearing one, but I love God more and so now my will has become God's will and I don't care about my flesh and would never do without my covering as that would bring great shame, and I don't want to. It will lead to death if we follow our flesh. 

"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."

Romans 8:13

Let us sisters kill our flesh and humbly submit to the Lord's will in all our ways and certainly not have the attitude of that woman. We do pray she repents and is delivered from the bondage of her flesh. 

I recently had some fabric I wanted to sew into headcoverings and I got most of them done. 

These are the type that I wear...a simple big square. 

Folded into a triangle... 

...with my hair up, and then tie a knot at the back...and hold it in place with clips or pins. The size of that square is around 80cms or 32 inches (I naturally don't have thick or very long hair so the size is fine for me.).

I sew a simple hem around the edges with my overlocker which prevents fraying and all that. 

I sell these headcoverings at my shop here.

And these ones I sewed are a little thicker fabric so will be nice and warm for winter (not that we get really cold here). They are made of cotton so they won't get too warm I think. 

And I had this big lightweight scarf which I chopped into two. 

And then cut to make a square. (Honestly, cutting squares must be one of the most challenging things to get right cause when you fold it into a triangle it doesn't line up if it isn't exactly square. I don't know why, it sounds simple but it's really hard even though I am blessed with a nice big cutting board with markers and lines. Anyway, I do my best and learn more patience:-)

And I had another really light weight big scarf which I tried for a headcovering. I will save that one for really hot days as it's a bit delicate for everyday wear:-)

And the fabric was too fine to do a hem...so I left it be. 

So to say that anyone can find something to wear to obey the Lord in this matter. I am sure there are other ways to do head covering in a biblical manner of sufficiently covering our head and hair but that works for me.

May we have a heart that says, "not my will but Thine be done" in this area and all others. 

I hope and pray you are all being obedient in this one area (and all the rest too of course).

"By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

1 John 5:2-4

From "Modest" to Biblically Dressed

Several days ago, I wrote a post on how we certainly can know from scripture how to dress today. You can read that here. But in this post, I want to mention a little more as to how that has affected me and my clothing choices personally. No, it is not to focus or talk about me only but to illustrate how women professing to have been born again must act as they search the scriptures daily. It is to show how I went from being "modestly" dressed to biblically dressed to obey the Lord's commands. Perhaps there are some more women out there seeking the truth of how God wants His daughters to clothe their bodies. 

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had grown up (along with the other ladies in my family) wearing long skirts and dresses after a switch from pants etc. While this might be considered modest or conservative Christian dress by many today, was it biblical when tested to scripture? Today I say no, not all of the time. Some of what I wore would have been adorned as scripture teaches for no outward adornment in our dress. When I saw that in scripture I had to get rid of all of my clothing that did not fit with God's Word on this. 

Also I was not always careful enough to make sure all of my clothing was loose and not too tight fitting. While I never really thought about my clothes much and never intentionally dressed unbiblical, when I learned better and that any transgressions of God's design is sin, I repented. While makeup and jewellery were never a temptation to me and so I didn't use them, those are sins too in the same category as the clothing I was wearing that was adorned with florals or other patterns. What is the point of all of those things? Surely to try to look attractive or "pretty" or something, which is not becoming for a holy woman of God and is sinful vanity trying to make one look "beautiful" on the outside. God wants a holy and pure heart and He's said how we are to dress. Read and study 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Peter 3 where it speaks of these things. And remember why God first gave humans clothing. It was to cover us after we sinned. It wasn't to adorn us. It was animal skins that was our first clothing!

As I described above was how I dressed growing up, and I had never worn a headcovering and so I repented of that sin of not doing so also.  

I recall the verse (1 Samuel 15:23) that says that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. To rebel and to be disobedient to what we know to be God's commands in this area of clothing and headcovering is indeed serious. I pray you will all study God's Word for what it says and not what someone might want it to say or what the Christian religion of today is saying.

I want to also briefly touch on the word "modest" that most everyone in Christianity today is talking about. That term is so varied that it could mean almost anything these days so we need to study deeper than any translation. The term "modest apparel" has obviously been translated from something the original writer who was inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote which are commands of God how we are to dress. 

Another thing I hear over and over is that you have to just go by your convictions and how the Lord is speaking to you. Others say ask your husband or dad and see what they say is right for you or what they want from you. To me this seems much like what the serpent said to Eve, "Has God really said that?", trying to get around the Lord's commands. Have you heard and been deceived by those things people are saying?

While how I dressed from young may have been "half-way" to biblical, it still fell short and so was not in keeping with scripture. It was unbiblical and therefore sinful as all such things are where we don't go all the way to God's commands. Getting things "half right" or obeying just some of God's commands is not good enough. In the Lord's sight, does this really look any different to a woman dressed in much less or decked out in the greatest of adornment? God says do it this way and we say I want to do it this way. Both groups of women wearing unbiblical clothing are not right, the immodest woman down the street and the "modest Christian" woman. Think of what tragedy happened to the world when a woman disobeyed just one command of God in the garden of Eden...ponder that.

 

As I said before, our biblical dress cannot hide a spiritually dead heart from the Lord, nor can obeying in this area and being disobedient in other areas, please God. No, but when you are a new creation of God by the Spirit, the old man with its fleshly desires must be crucified. It is our responsibility to go study and seek the Lord and not just accept what we were taught or see around us. All areas of our lives must conform to God's ways whether that be our dress, feminist ways, lack of love for the lost, unthankfulness, etc etc. A woman striving to be godly will not stop short of testing everything in her life. And the Spirit will convict you if there are areas that you are failing in.

"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (Galatians 5:24)

"But ye have not so learned Christ;

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." 

(Ephesians 4:20-24)

So I will continue to test and evaluate everything I wear or consider buying to see whether it would fit with God's command for our dress to be simple, plain, long, loose, and with a head covering of the same plain manner which covers all of our long hair and head.

 

"So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do." 

(Luke 17:10)

 

We do NOT dress this way to be "holier than thou" or to earn our salvation but to be obedient to our Lord. It is only our duty and we fear Him. To disobey and rebel is sinning against Him and it shall not be well for those living in sin.

"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." 

(Hebrews 10:26-27)

Because I have repented and forsaken my past ignorance/disobedience/rebellion, I know this following verse holds true. We can trust in God to keep His promises. We have to do our bit. Have you?

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 

(1 John 1:9)

Repent today while you still have time. If you are reading this and are not right with God or are disobedient in this area of dress, the mercy and forgiveness of the Lord is available for all who repent. But the time is coming when it will be too late. We do not know when that is for each of us. 

See the biblical gospel to eternal life through Christ here.

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

(2 Peter 3:9)

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."

(Acts 17:30-31)

Serve and obey Christ today. If we endure faithful and obedient to the end, we will gather with all the saints with our Lord. There will only be pureness and holiness there (and white robes!).

"Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." (Revelation 3:4-5)

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:9-17)

Praise the Father for the spotless Lamb of God slain for our salvation! 

So live to glorify Him day by day...then we shall be with Him one day. 

Fight on!
