We do not have so much time here on earth. How we spend our years here on earth will either result in eternal condemnation or eternal glory. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:27-28)
The decision to eschew sin and live for Christ is the most crucial and must be taken now. We do not know the time our Lord will return to take us with him, separating the sheep from the goats, therefore the need for a turnaround now!
Paul had a turnaround. He who was persecuting the Christians now was preaching this same Gospel of Christ in all cities and towns. He responded to the call of Christ and made a complete turnaround for the better. His life had changed and it was evident as the stars in a starry night.
They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they praised God because of me. (Galatians 1:23-24)
Such a turnaround will surely attract opposition, but what will keep us going is the assurance that once we live for Christ He always got us. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91)
Make that turnaround today for Jesus!
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. I have decided to follow you, I live behind all sin that leads to death. I choose to live for Christ.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
