My wife and I watched a musical about the life of Noah last night. What struck me about Noah’s story was when God closed the door of the ark as the rain started pouring down. People were outside the door wanting in when they realized that Noah’s warnings from God became reality and judgement was imminent. But it was too late. It was the Last Day.
There will be a time when Jesus returns, and judgment will be imminent just like during Noah’s time. There will be warnings before Jesus returns. Things like wars and rumors of wars, floods, earthquakes where the Bible says these are birth pains before Jesus returns. There will be ample time to make a decision whether to make Jesus Lord of your life, but I wouldn’t wait until the last day because when Jesus shuts the door. It will be permanently shut without any more second chances to change your mind. The last day will be the final day to determine if you will live with God forever or live without Him forever. The Bible says Hell is a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Could it be those there waited too long before the Last Day arrived? Grace is offered now but even God’s grace will wind down on the Last Day. So my advice to you, “Don’t put off the decision about letting Jesus come into your life!” Don’t wait for the Last Day.
