mandeth men that they should all everywhere repent.” (Acts 17:30.) Do you say, “I do not feel like deciding now?” What has feeling to do with it? If you were in a building and it caught fire, would you wait until you felt the heat of the flame before you would leave the building? Of course, you would not be so foolish. You would get out of that building as soon as you knew it was on fire. You would act on what you knew, not on what you felt.. In the matter of deciding for Christ, the devil can influence your feel ings. Therefore, you should act not on your feelings, but on your knowledge of your need of salvation, and Christ’s power and longing to save you now. “Come! For all things are now ready.” (Luke 14:17.) The Sixth Reason 6. Because God cannot always be found. “Seek ye Jehovah while He may be found; call ye upon Him while He is near.” (Isa. 55:6). The Seventh Reason 7. Because “ Now” is the only time that is surely yours. “Ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor that ap- peareth for a little time, and then van- isheth away.” (James 4 :14 ). Death may be close on your trail, and reach out his icy hand and take you away into eternal darkness before another morning’s sun. This may be your last opportunity to accept Christ. Act now as you would act if you knew beyond a doubt that it was your last. Better be safe than sorry. “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” (Prov. 27:1.)
WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT JESUS RIGHT NOW The First Reason 1. Because He came to save. “Faith ful Is the saying, and worthy of all ac ceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” (1 Tim. 1:15.) The Second Reason 2. Because He is the only One who can save. "In none other is there sal vation. For neither is there any other Name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12.) The Third Reason 3. Because everyone, without excep tion, needs to be saved. “For there is no distinction. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:22-23.) This “all” includes you. The Fourth Reason 4. Because everyone, without excep tion, can be saved. “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out,” said Jesus. (John 6 :37 ). God loves and can save the worst sinner. He has laid help upon One who is mighty to save. The blood of Jesus can wash away sins of the deepest dye. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isa. 1:18.) O, what a precious encouraging invitation! The Fifth Reason 5. Because God’s , time to save is “Now.” "Behold, now.is the acceptable time; behold now is the day of salva.- tion.” (II. Cor. 6:2.) “Now He com-
