Carelessness

How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?
Hebrews 2:3

Carelessness
Have you ever left your umbrella somewhere, or been so lost in thought while driving that you only noticed that you had passed the motorway exit when it was too late? Such carelessness can justifiably make us angry. However, any trouble caused can be rectified. We can buy another umbrella or drive back on the other side of the motorway.

When it is a matter of our salvation through faith in the Redeemer Jesus Christ, on the other hand, careless procrastination can have serious consequences. Heaven or hell, eternal joy or everlasting torment once attained cannot be changed.

God wants everyone to put things in order with Him. So He commands us to repent of our sinful life and turn to Him from the pathway we are on. Whoever ignores His appeal and dies unreconciled with Him is lost.

Jesus Christ invites people to come to Him, believing on Him. He offers the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all. Whoever rejects this gracious offer remains guilty before God and takes his burden of sin with him into eternity.

God states emphatically in the Bible. "Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). So it is negligent to put off conversion. Which of us can guarantee that we shall be alive tomorrow or the day after? So, "Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" (Hebrews 4:7).

Today's reading: Judges 3:1-11 Â· 2 Corinthians 3:1-6

When you are not yet a champion, only a few people pay attention to you. But by the time you become a champion, you will be on the radar of many people, including your enemies. A champion has...More
