I have a choice of whether to come to God or continue on my own. I know and have studied that God is waiting on me to come to Him. He wants me to commune with Him.
Chapter 5 of the book of Amos is titled “Seek the Lord and Live” in my ESV Bible. Here I am led to understand that God wants me to seek Him and it culminates in verses 14 and 15.
“14Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. 15Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” – Amos 5:14-15 (ESV)
God has not given up on me and it is not too late for me to come to Him. I always have the chance to repent and return to God. Even in the New Covenant, Christ died so that I did not have to suffer with my sins. I can repent and follow Him and I will be saved. The thief being crucified with Jesus repented before he died and received the grace of God. Why not me, as I am not at the point of dying yet?
I have time, however I need to make the decision for time is running out. How much time do I have, I don’t know, but that time is running out. I choose to come to Christ and the grace he gives.
What about you, are you aware that you still have time to repent and come to Christ? Will you seek Him and live? Will you accept the grace that God has for each of us?
