Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. - Isaiah 55:6

An insurance agent repeatedly tried to convince a man to buy fire coverage for his home. "No," the homeowner kept saying. "It's well built, and I maintain it properly. My house will never catch fire." But one day it did! Imagine the look on that insurance agent's face when the homeowner foolishly ran to him to buy an insurance policy - as smoke filled the sky and flames gutted his home. It was way too late!

Although this story seems too absurd to be true, it teaches the folly of presumption, and of putting off until tomorrow a decision that needs to be made today. This is especially important when it comes to escaping what Jesus described as "the fire that shall never be quenched" (Mark 9:43).

By paying for our sins on Calvary's cross, Jesus has provided the only way of escape from the judgment to come. But we must make an important decision before we can enjoy that salvation. We must accept the offer while it is still good - before death overtakes us.

So don't be foolish. Believe that Christ died and rose again to provide eternal life for you, and receive Him as your Savior today. Right now, while there is still time, accept God's free gift of salvation.

God's time is now, for the days fly fast,
And swiftly the seasons roll;
Today is yours, it may be your last;
Choose life for your priceless soul!

-Fithian

You can't repent too soon, for you don't know how soon it may be too late.
