"Today?"

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 right 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 coining of the Lord Jesus Christ may take place. 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 with Him to glory. (2 Thess. 2:10-12.)
The Holy Ghost says, in Psa. 95:7,8, "TODAY if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart"; and Jesus says, in Luke 19:5, "MAKE HASTE, and come down; for TODAY I must abide at thy house.”
"Today" life, light, and glory forever are offered 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 forever 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 Zacchaeus, "This day is salvation come to this house"; for, "behold, NOW is the accepted time; NOW is the day of salvation.”
Job 33:14.
"GOD SPEAKETH ONCE, YEA TWICE, YET MAN PERCEIVETH IT NOT.”
