“And as he reasoned of
righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered,
Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee”
(Acts 24:25).
The man had the opportunity to repent, but he deferred his
salvation to a time he thought he would be ready. Though he had a more perfect
knowledge of these things – of God’s expectation and judgment, yet he postponed
the opportunity to make Heaven and escape hell.
Pilate had the opportunity to know the truth, but he asked a
question and never waited for the answer: “Pilate saith unto him, What is
truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith
unto them, I find in him no fault at all” (John 18:38).
There was a man whom
Jesus said was not far from the kingdom: “And when Jesus saw that he
answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God”
(Mark 12:34). He was not far, but he was not in. This is the case of everyone
that postpones repentance and salvation. Unfortunately, some shall be locked
outside because no one knows when the door shall be locked. I pray that we
shall not be locked outside of Heaven in Jesus’ name. To delay repentance is to
play with eternity.
Do not delay to stop sinning. Do not delay to do restitution.
Do not delay to do what is right. Today is the day of salvation…eternity may be
a blink away.
Maranatha.
