TODAY is the Day of Salvation

Consider THE END of the fool - from Prov 5. The fool repents AT THE END of his life - "and you shall be repenting at the end of your life whenever your flesh wears away from your body and you shall say Oh how I hated instruction and my heart turned aside reproofs. I would not hear the voice of the one correcting me and teaching me nor did I set aside my ear. Little by little I came unto every evil even while in the midst of the assembly and congregation." 

How sad and inconsolable will the fool's final repentance be! What a pitiful fate awaits all who choose their own way, only to repent at the very end. 

Our Lord made it very clear - "there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." The torment of the outer darkness will be made most severe by the realization of every opportunity to turn squandered, every help refused and every attempt to be helped despised and seen as interference rather than rescue. 

Every fool will repent in the end and will fully realize that they "refused the love of the truth" and chose instead to "take pleasure in unrighteousness". 

Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord - but some as they enter into eternal joy and others into eternal agony. An agony compounded by a repentance that came too late. 

TODAY is the day of salvation. NOW is the acceptable time. TODAY if you hear His voice - HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART! The final repentance will not save, it will only increase the severity of the eternal regret.
