"........I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
----2 Cor. 6: 2

In this world there are lots of things that will be overlooked
or put off until later. There is one thing that we cannot afford
to overlook, and that is salvation. Every person on this side
of eternity must make a choice which will affect their eternal
destination. There is only one right choice and that is to
choose Jesus and ask forgiveness of sins. Living in the light
of the Lord will assure us eternal life. God's love is the greatest
of all and He calls all men to repentance and life in Christ.
There is a little story of a pastor who was waiting in line for a
long time at a gas station. The attendant walked up to him
and said, "I'm sorry for the long delay. Everybody waits until
the last minute to get ready for a trip it seems." The pastor
replied, "I have the same problem in my business as people
wait until the last minute to get ready to meet God."
It is dangerous for anyone to wait to call upon the Lord.
Tomorrow is called the "fools day" as it may never come.
Today is the day of salvation. The Spirit pleads with souls
as God warns them not to put off making a decision for
Christ. The Lord could come back morning, night, or noon
and we must be ready to meet Him at any time.
We must always remember, "now is the accepted time, behold,
now is the day of salvation." In this new year, we must make
our calling and election sure, and tell others the good news
of the Lord Jesus Christ. The words, "Jesus saves" are
truly words of a joyful sound!
