THE RIGHT TIME
The right time' is a phrase we hear often; 'the right time to go on holiday', 'the right time to sell or buy', to identify just two. The Bible also talks about the right time (all “quotations” below are from the Bible (King James version. c = chapter, v = verse) in 2 Corinthians c 6 v 2 we read" behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation". God is telling us that now is the right time; not yesterday or tomorrow, but now. He is also talking about a day of salvation; an opportunity for you to be saved.
God tells us we have all sinned, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans c 3 v 23. There is a consequence to our sins, "The wages of sin is death" Romans c 6v 23. This means we will be separated from God forever, and forever we will experience His judgement against us because of our sins. But "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us "Romans c 5 v 8. Through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, and because of His death and resurrection, He is willing and able to save us from the judgement of God that we de serve because of our sins. "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures 1Corinthians c 15 v3 & 4. The Lord Jesus came into the world for the purpose of dying and rising again and thus making a way for us to be reconciled to a holy God. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" 1Timothy c 1 v 15.
Upon the cross the Lord Jesus "it is finished; and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost" John c 19 v 30. The work of salvation been completed to God's eternal satisfaction. Concerning the Lord Jesus God says "when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high" Hebrews c 1 v 3. You can and you need to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your own saviour and Lord. You now know that you need to "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" Acts 16 v 31, and right now is the time to repent and believe. The past is gone, tomorrow may not come, so you need to be saved now.
