Around to it

Many of the high school and college age people I speak with about Christ and the gospel say that they will get "around to it" when they are older and have lived their lives. What a shame to think this way! Looking back I wish that I had always lived my life in submission to God. I always look back and am thankful that God let me live long enough for Him to find me (Jesus said He is the Good Shepherd in John 10....He, as the shepherd, found me the sheep and saved me - Isaiah 53:6). I guess the pleasures of sin for a season are too enticing? Pray for the young and old in our spheres of influence who are putting off repenting and trusting the Savior for a later day when they have drank in their fill of sin. We don't know how many days we have left! Today is the day of salvation!

You have pacified your conscience by saying that you would find peace with God one day . . . when you get a round Tuit. Well, now you have one. This is why you shouldn't wait any longer: If you have told one lie, you are a liar. If you have stolen anything (irrespective of value), you are a thief. If you have looked with lust, you have committed adultery in your heart. If you hate someone, you've committed murder in your heart. Your sin has angered God. The Bible teaches that you are His enemy. On Judgment Day, you will end up in Hell. But there's good news: "God commended His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Jesus Christ took your punishment, then He rose from the dead and defeated the grave. If you repent and trust Him, God will grant you everlasting life. Read your Bible daily and obey it. God will never let you down.
