God Says – Come To Me Now!
Therefore, remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”—before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when people rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint; when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets, when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
Today Is Your Day
Remember Him—before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. “Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.” [Ecclesiastes 12: 1-8]. What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? God forbid. May it never be! [Romans 6:1-2].
Jesus Says – Come
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” [Matthew 4:17]. For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance [Luke 5:32].
Therefore, let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind [Philippians 3:15-21]. If not, the men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it… [Matthew 12:41].
Understand the first demand of Jesus’ public ministry was, “Repent.” He spoke this command indiscriminately to all who would listen. It was a call for radical inward change toward God and man. No one is excluded from Jesus’ demand to repent. He made this clear when a group of people came to him with news of two calamities. Innocent people had been killed by Pilate’s massacre and by the fall of the tower of Siloam [Luke 13:1-4]. Jesus took the occasion to warn even the bearers of the news: “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” [Luke 13:5].
Therefore, none is excluded. All need repentance. And the need is urgent. Jesus, the Son of God, is warning people of the judgment to come, and offering escape if we will repent. If we will not repent, Jesus has one word for us, “Woe, to you” (Matthew 11:21).
Jesus Died For You
After he had risen from the dead Jesus made sure that his apostles would continue the call for repentance throughout the world. He said, “Thus it is written, that Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem” [Luke 24:46-47]. So, the demand of Jesus to repent goes to all the nations. It comes to us, whoever we are and wherever we are, and lays claim on us. This is the demand of Jesus to every soul: Repent. Be changed deep within. The call is urgent!
How To Repent
Genuinely ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you of All of your sins. Then, by faith, receive His complete forgiveness of our sins and ask Him to come into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior. If you have sincerely asked Him, rest in the Truth that He has accepted you, and you have been saved! –Glory to God!
