“Remember Now”
I was asked one evening to visit a lady in the hospital who was dying. I carefully, slowly, and as simply as possible, explained the way of salvation to her. She looked at me and said, “I know all that. I heard it from my parents and others when I was young. I have six months to live and I will go to hell.” She died a few months later and to my knowledge never trusted Christ. How tragic when she could have come to Him as a young woman and lived her life for Him. If you are considering trusting Christ, don’t put it off. Accept His offer of salvation today. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
The time to be saved is right now! “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). Tomorrow may be too late. He may not be found and He may not be near. The “day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2), may not extend past today. Don’t wait until you are older to be saved. Life has no guarantees. The urgency of the message is “Come now” (Isaiah 1:18).
