“Why can’t they let us alone? They never come to the house without tormenting us about our souls. I don’t see the fun of it at all.” So said a young man to his mother, and possibly you have thought the same, even if you have not said it.
“Let us alone,” said the demon in a poor, devil-possessed sinner to the Lord Jesus in the days of old. But Jesus did not let him alone. The demon had to come out. Just think of that wretched man in his terrible misery saying to the only One who could deliver him—and who came for that purpose— “Let us alone!” And yet men follow his example to this day!
If still unsaved, thank God you have a body out of the grave and a soul out of hell. Do not say to Him any longer, “Let us alone.” He might answer your request.
Perhaps you dare to say, like many, “No hurry; I can take salvation at any time.” What a delusion of the devil this is! His first device is, “Let us alone.” When that fails, he says, “Plenty of time, plenty of time.” (He is “a liar, and the father of it.”) No, no, NO! You cannot be saved “when you get around to it.”
“NOW is the accepted time . . . NOW is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Tomorrow may be too late forever.
