This Very Moment

Soul, whoever you may be, look at your watch or at the clock. Whatever the hour, whatever the moment indicated thereon, you can say: "This very moment I am in Christ or in my sins!”
Soul, you are either saved or lost, destined either for heaven or for hell. You may not believe it; you may very much dislike to think of it and do your best to speedily forget it. Nevertheless it is true. Ahead lies "everlasting punishment" or "life eternal.”
O soul, This very moment, God has power to call you into His presence. He can at this very moment command cold, cruel death, the king of terrors, to cut you down, a worthless cumberer of the ground. What would then be your destiny?
"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Heb. 9:2727And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27).
At this very moment, O soul, God's record is being made in that book from which every sinner is to be judged. That record is true and in it God records your words, your deeds, and the very thoughts and intents of your heart. Will you welcome their display in that day? Ah, no!
Soul, this very moment is even now passed into eternity to witness against you. Are you still in your sins, uncleansed by the precious blood of Christ? THINK! This very moment He longs to rescue you from the pit of despair and to save you for a glorious eternity with Him in heaven. Then, "why will ye die?”
This very moment, I pray you, yield your heart, your life, your soul to Christ. This very moment you are hardening or softening under the weight of these solemn facts. Are you turning to or from our Lord Jesus Christ? This very moment may determine your eternal destiny. Eternal hell or eternal heaven hangs upon your own decision.
May the Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit and by His love, at this very moment turn your rebel will to Himself.
