Today, the rain and the dreary cold has me feeling lethargic!!! After a
couple of hours, I said to myself: Now, Gary- now is the time to sit
down and write!!! And then I remembered this graphic and the quote.
These things are true, beyond any doubt, but something seemed to be
missing. Then, I remembered the following passage...
2 Corinthians, Chapter 6
Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
We can't change yesterday; for, what is done is completed and over with.
Tomorrow is a possibility, but not a guarantee. We exist in the
ubiquitous NOW and NOW is the time to get right and stay right with
God!!! When our NOW becomes the future and our future becomes our
eternity, we will rejoice-- IF GOD SAVES US FROM THE PUNISHMENT WE SO
RICHLY DESERVE FOR OUR SINS. Whether or not our actions seems terrible
to us, God hates sin, so getting rid of it and staying free of it should
be of the utmost importance to us!!! NOW, now is the time to begin to
be more holy, more pleasing to God!!!! OK, where do we go from here?
Well, seek truth- I mean REALLY SEEK IT!!! When you are serious about
this, turn to the book of Acts, Chapter two and read all about the first
Gospel sermon (2:14ff..) After his message, the Jews in attendance
said...
37
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter
and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
Then Peter answers...
38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.” 40 With many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
Want to know... just ask; I will be glad to help you be glad!!! I will make it a priority- for NOW IS THE TIME!!!!
