Now is the Time

Turn to the Lord with all your heart. Now is the time. Behold now is the hour. He is surely coming soon, and what will you do when you see Him? Will you cower in shame or will you rejoice and be glad with confidence before Him? You are making choices right now. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John chapter 3, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the World through Him might be saved. The only way you are going to be saved is through Him. You say,"Saved from what?" From the wrath of God to come. He that believes on Him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. Is that you? Do you have evil deeds that you love? Be honest with yourself. Are there things you feel you just can't do with out? You say "I've heard John3:16 all my life....." When was the last time you really meditated on what Jesus is saying here? Do you truely believe He is the only begotten Son of God? In John1 the Apostle John said He is the Word of God and that He was made flesh. The angel Gabriel said to Mary, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. " The Bible says He was tempted in every way as we are yet He never sinned. He willingly gave himself a living sacrifice for our sins. He became sin on the cross and suffered the full penalty for us which is death and hell . Why? Because He so loves us! He does not want us do be destroyed. He made us. When we reject Him we condemn ourselves to destruction. On the third day the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit, raised Him from the dead. The scripture says we are dead in our trespasses and sins and we were made alive in Him. When the Father raised Him up, He raised us with Him. But you have to join Him in His death by repenting and believing and being baptized in water, buried with Him in baptizm, and raised with Him to serve Him in newness of life, not yourself any longer. Did you ever wonder what Jesus meant when He said he that finds his life shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake shall find it? Jesus also said in John 3; He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him. The only way that you can be saved from the wrath of God is to turn to Jesus with all your heart, repent of your ways and put all your trust in Him.
Don't kid yourself any more. Spend some time thinking on what the Word of God says. The wrath of God , the Day of His wrath is surely coming, against all ungodliness and all the ungodly. All the wicked are going to be destroyed forever. Only those who are righteous by believing and obeying Jesus, as He said in Mat 7, only those who are doing the will of the Father, will live on with Him in His kingdom. Are you righteous or are you wicked? The Apostle John said, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin, (practices or continues in sin), is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Repent now while you have the time.
This time right now is the time the Apostle Peter refered to like the days of Noah: the longsuffering of God was waiting, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and then the flood came and destroyed them all. He said ,in 2Peter:3, The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
Turn to the Lord with all your heart. Now is the time.
