Last Chance

This may be it! I do not know, and I cannot tell for sure. I hope that this may not be it; but there is not a single soul in all the universe that can know that it is not so. I cannot tell; you cannot tell; no one can ever tell!
This may be it! This may be the last Gospel article that you will ever have the golden opportunity of reading. This may be your last chance to read the Good News that "Christ died for our sins." 1 Cor. 15:33For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (1 Corinthians 15:3). This could be your last, precious opportunity to read concerning Him "who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree." 1 Peter 2:2424Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24).
This may be it! The choice is up to you. You will read, or you may refuse to read. You will heed, or you may remain heedless! Your choice will mean blessedly everything, or brutally nothing. It is up to you!
This may be it! It may be the last chance for choice that you will ever make. This may be it. I do not know, and I cannot tell for sure. I hope not, I pray not; but I don't know.
This grim uncertainty as to life—it is a terrifying thing without Christ. You cannot know from one hour to another, for you may be suddenly stricken down and snatched away within the quarter-hour mark! You may scoff, but you cannot gamble on it!
Death always rides with life. And, reader, the Lord Jesus also rides with life. You have no choice concerning DEATH; but you have the golden choice concerning LIFE with Him! "For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Is this an old story to you often heard but never heeded? Whose sinful fault is that? And who has continued to give you this precious lease on life that you might hear the story of God's love time and time again? Now can you once again cast away the precious invitation: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"? Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31).
You may cast it away. You may forget it. But-this may be it! It may be for the last time.
"He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." Prov. 29:11He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Proverbs 29:1). If this be the LAST TIME, O soul, there is NO REMEDY!
This may be it!—I do not know.—I hope not.—But who knows—except God?
"That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath
raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.”
