Numbers

God’s people meet 156 times a year in the church building for the purpose of exhorting people to save themselves from a wicked generation (Acts 2:40). Three times in a week they are reminded of the condition of their soul. Taking into consideration sleep each night, the average person has 5,840 hours in a year to think about where they would like to spend eternity.


Paul said, “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” How many “days of salvation” have you had? Most people consider the age in which someone becomes accountable to the gospel to be 12. Accepting this at face value, if you are 20, you have had roughly 2,555 days to respond to Christ. If you are 30, 6,570 days. If you are 40, 10,220 days. If you are 50, 13,870 days. If you are 60, 17,520 days. If you are 70, 21,170 days. If you are 80, 24,820 days.


You only have one decision to make! You have zero chances to change if you are condemned to hell and are in torment! When the Son of Man “will come in His glory,” what will be your decision (Matthew 25:31)? Will you be ready to “come forth,” having done good, to “the resurrection of life” (John 5:29)? Today may be your only chance!
