As a new day dawns we do well to reflect upon two important passages of Scripture. The first is found in II Corinthians 6:2 where Paul, by the Spirit says:
βBehold, now is the accepted time;Β behold, now is the day of salvation.β
We have no guarantee that the Lord Jesus will tarry another year, or even a month or a day. It is possible thatΒ within ten minutesΒ after you have read this the dispensation of Grace will have been brought to a close, and the Lord will have come to catch away His own. Most of our readers, surely, will then be part of a blessed, happy throng. What about you? Will you be with us or will you beΒ left behind?Β If you are not sure of your salvation, be wise and place your trust in Christ now.
βYesterdayβs past You have only today.
TomorrowΒ may be too late.β
But the fact of the imminence of Christβs return places a great responsibility upon believers too. How wrong of us to fritter away the time, when He may come so soon! How wrong to live for self! Let us rather heed the words of Paul to us who are saved:
βSee then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming [buying up] the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord isβ (Eph. 5:15-17). source
