“Yes, I expect to be saved when the time comes.”
Is this a good excuse for not accepting Christ now? Of course not! How strange that people try to keep God from blessing them, that they choose death instead of life, that they cling to evil and refuse the good.
Sometimes they add, “God knows whether I am going to be saved or lost. If I am going to be saved, I shall be when the time comes.”
That is Satan’s lie. God speaks the truth, and He says, Today if ye [you] will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Where in the Word of God does He say, “Wait to be saved”? Is there anything like that? God’s time is NOW. He never says tomorrow. The thought of waiting for any future time is only delusion.
It is dishonoring God to say, “The time has not come for me to be saved.” It is almost like saying, “God wants me to continue in sin!” He does not want anyone to continue in sin. Every warning and every invitation in the Bible means, “Be saved now.” Not tomorrow, not some future time, not any future time, but NOW.
Today, God says, is the day of salvation. There is no promise of tomorrow.
