“I Have Plenty of Time...”
A girl we’ll call
Mary was 19. She was invited to hear an evangelist who preached on how to be
saved.
“I
don’t have time for that now,” she said. “Besides, there’ll be plenty of time
for that.”
During
the next night of those meetings, Mary’s car skidded out of control and slammed
into another auto. She died instantly.
“I
don’t have time for that now.” Fearful words! No time to think about God, or
death, or judgment, or eternity, or her soul!
“There’ll
be plenty of time for that.” Little did she realize when she spoke those words
that she was only hours from eternity.
Time is a precious
gift from God, but it comes with no guarantees. The Bible compares our life
span to a blade of grass, a vapor, and a shadow. Listen to the wise prayer of
Moses. “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom”
(Psalm 90:12).
God’s Warning
“It is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
Life is uncertain.
Death is often sudden. This may be the last gospel tract you will read.
“Boast not thyself
of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1).
Someday it will be
TOO LATE for you to be saved. When loved ones weep beside your casket, WHERE
WILL YOUR SOUL BE?
That depends on
what you do with the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves you. He “gave Himself a ransom
for all” (I Timothy 2:6). Then He arose again that He might save you.
Jesus Christ is
God’s way to Heaven. He saves all “that come unto God BY HIM” (Hebrews 7:25).
You can be saved NOW by receiving HIM. Do so now. Pray this prayer and sign the

“There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the
Man Christ Jesus:” (I Timothy 2:5).
I realize I am a sinner. I know someday it will be too late
for me to be saved. I now receive the Lord Jesus. By His help, I intend to live
for Him and confess Him before others.
