Becoming Worthy

Will you be “counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man”?   Could you answer that question for yourself, and are you sure your answer would be correct?
To escape “all these things” is an astonishing opportunity and a privileged offer from God, and to “stand before the Son of Man”, means that we will have made it to eternal life! But how are we counted worthy? Is it by GRACE or by WORKS? If it is by grace, would that mean that works are not necessary? What do you think?
The scriptures show that not all our brethren will be “counted worthy.”  Some will be, some will not. So what is the difference between the two? If it is by GRACE, should that not include everyone?
Listen to this message to see if it includes YOU – I hope it does!
