Now it is too late
Matthew 25:10-13
10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
We've heard series of testimonies of many people who experienced how the end will be as well as other prophecies from Daniel, Joel and other prophets in the Bible.
The truth is there's no more time to waste, don't let the world deceive you.
In my article bout time you can see that time is life and life is time.
Joel gave us a warning;
Joel 2:12-13
12.Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Saul is a perfect case study, God wanted to establish Saul's kingdom from generation to generation.
But unfortunately he disobeyed God's instructions and his kingdom was taken away from him.
1 Samuel 15:22
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Even when Samuel mourned for him God still rejected him.
1 Samuel 16:1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
It was too late for Saul and of course you know how the story ended and how Saul died.
It was too late for Saul but it's never too late for you.
The only difference about the time of Saul and our time is Jesus, Jesus came and interceded on our behalf and grace and mercy was sufficient.
Titus 2:11
The grace of God that bringeth salvation has appeared to all men.
For you were bought with a price; Jesus has paid the price for our sins and was buried with it and he rose after battling with the devil for your redemption.
Four stages of Christ work on Earth
1. He died for your sins
2. He was buried; funeral service was done for your sins
3. He resurrected as well as your new redemption. I Corinthians 5:17
4. He ascended; he ascended to Heaven, so also must we ascend and be with Jesus on the last day.
