Today is the Day of Salvation
I was listening to a Christian song that claimed it’s never too late to be saved, and I began pondering that statement.
It's true and it's not.
For the repentant sinner who fears that God won’t accept him, it's spot on.
But Scripture never encourages a “don’t-worry-there's-always-tomorrow” attitude about salvation.
We don't know if we'll be alive tomorrow (James 4:14).
If we remain persistently stubborn or wicked we're at risk of being “given over” to our sinful desires and depraved minds even if we are alive (Romans 1:18-32).
God sings this song:
“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion… I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray…‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart…” Hebrews 3:7-13
Let’s offer assurance to the repentant sinner, but let’s give warning to the hesitant or resistant unbeliever.

Thank you. I needed this. I believe in God is my father and Jesus is my savior. I have just fallen out of practicing the word of God. God lead me here to this post.
