No More Time

God has told us in His Word (the Bible) that there is a time for every purpose and every word. He also says that “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)).

He waits in patience, beseeching men to repent. He sends warning after warning by the catastrophes and the unusual weather conditions we are experiencing. Do not let these warnings pass unnoticed!

The day of grace—God’s NOW—is soon to end, but until that day the invitation will go out, saying, “Yet there is room” (Luke 14:22²²And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. (Luke 14:22)). The house is not yet filled; the door is not yet closed, and God is still saying, “Come.”

But even as God has appointed a time for every word, He has also “appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness” (Acts 17:31³¹Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:31)). When that day has come, when that hour has struck, there will be “time no longer” (Rev. 10:6⁶And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: (Revelation 10:6)).

No more delay, no more waiting in grace, no more an open door, no more room! NOW God offers eternal life and forgiveness to “whosoever will” on the ground of the work accomplished on the cross by His own beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. THEN it will be too late. Then there will be “time no longer.”
