Salvation is offered by God to all

We all make appointments that we intend to keep. But, as it sometimes goes, we have things that come up and have to put them off until a later date. In Hebrews 9:27, it tells us that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: Salvation is offered by God to all. Many put off the decision of accepting Christ. Reasons being that a later time would be better. What must be realized is that it could be a missed opportunity. There is no time like the present. In II Corinthians, 6:2, we find: (For he said, I have heard thee in a time excepted and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold now is that accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation.)

Please don’t let anything or anyone hold you back from turning your heart and life over to Christ. This is the best decision you will ever make.
