“SEEK ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him: and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Isa. 55:6, 7). Where God’s mercy and pardon are known, eternity is welcomed with joy and unspeakable delight. To follow the pernicious, soul-destroying way of unbelief is to say like Baalam, “I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh” (Num. 24:17). To reject Christ NOW is to ensure THEN a place of eternal distance, on the judgment side of that gulf which nothing can move.
