16. "Do I not have to wait God's time? I can do nothing about it until He is ready to save me.”

But God's time is now. He plainly tells us, "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." You need not wait another moment. He will never be any more ready to save you than He is at the very instant you are reading these words, and you will never be more fit to come to Him than at this very moment. Every day you wait you are adding to the terrible list of your sins. Every hour you continue to reject Him you are increasing your guilt by refusing to receive His blessed Son. Every moment you stay away from Him you are sinning against His love. Why not close up the present evil record by prostrating yourself before Him now, and owning your need, accept the gift of God, which is eternal life?
“I was waiting once for pardon,
I was hoping to be saved;
Waiting, though my heart would harden,
Hoping danger might be braved.
Till by God's own truth confounded.
I, a sinner, stood confessed;
Richly then His grace abounded,
Jesus gave me perfect rest.”
