Don’t wait to settle up with Christ
From words and writings of the late Rev. Billy Graham:
Q: Is it possible to live in sin your entire life and be saved right before death? A : One’s salvation is not determined by the time of life at which we repent and accept Christ as our Savior. There have been those who have repented on their deathbeds and have been saved. However, it is a dangerous gamble for one to deliberately wait until near the end of life to settle things with Jesus Christ. None of us knows when we may die; for thousands, sudden death occurs each day. But more important even than the foolishness of delaying salvation is the fact we are losing the joy of being a Christian.
The longer one waits to accept Christ the more difficult it becomes, for the heart of man grows harder with the passing of time. No matter the troubles, no matter what the difficulties, there is joy for the child of God because joy is produced supernaturally by God’s Spirit that abides within us.
