“This really must be the best of all possible times to be alive,” read an editorial in the New York Times. Having summed up many modern developments designed for the ease, pleasure and well-being of man, it concluded: “What a splendid time to be alive!”
As a matter of fact, this is the best of all possible times to be alive. Why? Because “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Of this present, fleeting day of God’s grace it may truthfully be said, There never was a time like this and never will be again. It is Satan’s work to blind the minds of the unsaved and prevent them from hearing the good tidings of the grace of God.
“If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).
