    I made a profession of faith when I was nine years old, I was even baptized. But I always had doubts about my salvation. I always had a bad attitude, I didn’t obey my mom very well, I wasn’t very kind to my sister and I lied a lot and there were other things. I was always afraid to think that I might go to hell if I died. I told myself that I would get saved before I died. For some reason I always thought that we would be driving down the street and I would see a car coming right at us and just before the cars collided I would call on the name of the Lord and that way if I died I wouldn’t go to hell. And always the next two thoughts that entered my mind were What if I died in my sleep or what if the rapture happened before I got saved. The last part of 2Cor. 6:2 says “ now is the day of salvation.” I recently read what J. Vernon McGee wrote about this verse and he said “ Now I don’t know who you are or where you are right now but if you are not saved “ now is the accepted time.” Look at your clock whatever time it is, is the time for you. Somebody will ask, Can’t I accept Him tomorrow? Probably, but you have no promise of a tomorrow.”

    For those who are not saved it is a scary thought but it is also true. What guarantee do we have that we will still be here tomorrow? Which one of us knows when he will die? Not even the worlds best doctors could tell you that. They could tell you that you could expect to live a long and healthy life and later as you cross the street that day you are hit by a car and killed. What happened to that long and healthy life you could have expected to live? In James 4:14 we are told that we do not even know what will happen tomorrow. We have a very important choice to make and wherever we spend eternity it is because we chose to spend it there either by rejecting God’s gift of eternal life or by accepting it. On January 6, 2002 I chose to spend eternity with my Lord and Savior. Now I don’t have to fear death because when I close my eyes for the last time in this life and open them in the next I won’t see a place where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth but I will see two hands and two feet that were nailed to the cross and I will see the side that was pierced for me and I will see the one who willingly gave up His life and died so that I could have this eternal life.

2 Cor. 6:2 For He says: “ In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
