πŸ’₯ Exhort one another daily; and exhort even more as you see the day of the Lord approaching.


To exhort means:  to urge earnestly by advice and warning

Jesus warns us concerning the last days:

Matthew 24:12-13  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.   But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Concerning exhorting those around you:

Hebrews 3

6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Some things we can do to hold fast to the end:

* Think often on those good things God has done for us: How HE caused us to be born again and removed us from this world; How God helped us in various ways and led us through all problems and decisions.

* Review the collections of verses of scriptures which God called to your attention by HIS Spirit.

* Read the Bible daily, renewing your mind to God's way.

Helping others:

Hebrews 3

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But with whom was HE grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware HE that they should not enter into HIS rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hebrews 10

14 For by one offering HE hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that HE had said before,

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put MY laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, which HE hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, HIS flesh;

21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)

24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

And if we see another about to sin, it is important for us to pray for that person, especially for that person who is a Christian, for we are tempted and we do have low moments and the help we provide both by prayer and godly exhortations can help that other person to endure.

So when the Holy Spirit calls another person to mind, pray for that person and if possible give exhortations (godly advise and warnings).
