Man thinks and says, tomorrow will do just as well as today to be saved—God says, Today; but where does He say tomorrow?
Today the arrow of death is abroad, and every hour we live, it is calculated that one thousand immortal beings pass into eternity.
If death came to you where you are, as you are, and just now, and laying his icy finger upon your pulse, stopped its beating, and laying his hand upon your heart. stopped its throbbing, and breathing upon your now warm blood, froze it in your veins, are you ready?
"Today" the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ may take place; and if it should, He would raise the bodies of all "the dead in Christ," and change the living bodies of all who have eternal life in Him, accomplishing all "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye."
Should the second coming of the Lord take place while you are reading this little paper, are you ready?
None of those—no not one—that have heard the Gospel of salvation "Today" and have been guilty of rejecting it, will have the ghost of a chance of being saved after Christ has come and taken His own blood-redeemed ones to glory (see 2 Thess. 2).
The Holy Ghost says, in Psa. 95:7, 87For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: (Psalm 95:7‑8) "Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart:" and Jesus says, in Luke 19:55And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. (Luke 19:5),
"Make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house."
"Today life, light, and glory for ever are offered you in the Gospel, for only believing in the person and work of Christ as a lost and helpless sinner.
Tomorrow may, be death, darkness, and damnation for ever should you refuse. Which is it to be? God grant it may be the first and not the last!—May it be said of you, dear reader, as it was said by the Lord Jesus to Zaccheus, "This day is salvation come to this house;" for "Behold now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation."
"THE LORD IS GOOD,
A STRONGHOLD
IN THE' DAY
OF TROUBLE:
AND HE KNOWETH
THEM THAT 'TRUST
IN HIM."
