Now, Not Tomorrow.

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Listen from:
AN intelligent boy about twelve years of age, attending a meeting held for conversation and prayer, inquired of one who was assisting what he must do to be saved. He was told to go home, and read the Bible, and pray. “But,” said the little fellow with deep emotion, “Sir, I am afraid I may die before I get home, and then it will be too late.” The child was quite right in his reply, for “now is the accepted time;” the Bible no-where invites sinners to come tomorrow. Today all that come to Jesus may have their sins forgiven through His name. Acts 10:4343To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43). This very hour you may become a child of God by believing in Him. 1 John 5:11Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. (1 John 5:1).
Salvation now, this moment;
Then why, oh, why delay?
Now is the accepted hour,
Now is salvation’s day.
