lifetime

A person lives to themselves nearly their whole life and then right at the end—they accept Christ and heaven is theirs to enjoy forever!  Doesn’t seem fair, does it?

When we accept salvation from Jesus Christ, we all accept the same deal—eternal life with the Savior.  If someone accepts Christ at ten years old or at age 85, lying on his deathbed—what’s the difference?  Are you envious of God’s generosity?  No!  We love his generosity.  Don’t ever change that, God!

Remember the thieves on the Cross?  One thief cursed Jesus, the other defended Him.  At the last moment, he said to Jesus:  “remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Luke 23:42).  And Jesus forgave him!  The time of forgiveness doesn’t matter!  

Anytime is the best time to receive Christ!  

And it is indeed the reward of a lifetime!

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”  (Ephesians 1:7)
