The Urgency of Today
If we’re not going to do it now, when will we? (See If Not Now, When?)
And if we don’t do it now, might it be too late later? (See It’s Too Late)
We know Christ is coming, but we do not know the day or hour. It might be that all the time we have is right now. Right. Now.
You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect. (Luke 12:40)
Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. (Matthew 24:42)
Sanctification and Service
Christians have been saved from the penalty of sin. We now are being sanctified, being saved from the power of sin. God is working on and in us, and we also have responsibility. We are to work out our [sanctification] with fear and trembling.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)
We are to be ready for His coming. (See the parable of the virgins, Matthew 25)
We are to be faithful servants, using the gifts and opportunities He gave us. (See the parable of the talents, Matthew 25)
We are to make the most of our opportunities.
making the most of your time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16)
Press On!
With boldness and urgency, press on!
