Today Is Your Day
Today God still speaks to sinners
inviting them to come unto Him
no guarantee of another breath
it's not like a remake hollywood film
We all can't be like thief on the cross
just hold off to wait on our final minute
there's no certainty of when it'll be
now is the time of salvation to win it
Why do you hold off rejecting the call?
come to Jesus receiving His grace
believe upon Him without any delay
His love's for you make it your chase
The thief was saved so you've hope
but he was only one so don't presume
come unto the saviour without delay
if you wait too long could be your doom!
('Few are ever saved on their death beds, one was saved on the cross so none should despair but only one that none should presume.' - J.C. Ryle)
' (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)'
2 Corinthians 6: 2
'And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.'
Luke 23: 39-43
