Time Is Running Out

Romans 13:11-12

This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the Day of Salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.

Jesus is coming soon! Time is running out! It's time we all wake up from our complacency and get busy seeking God's face and His ways in our lives. We are responsible for all of our choices each day, from the smallest detail to the most momentous decisions. 

Our Salvation here refers to the complete Redemption of our bodies into our glorious resurrection bodies that are like Jesus' Resurrection Body, that glows as bright as the Sun, at His coming again. And never before in history have all the signs of His coming been present all at the same time, as it is today.

So let us quit that bad habit, apologize to that person, or do that thing we have been put off doing. Let's not waste any of the precious moments of the few days left allotted to each of us until Jesus' Glorious Appearing. May our Lord strengthen us to do the good works our hands find to do and accomplish, starting with the little things of each day that will build into the larger things of our life's purpose.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
