FSFD026 Song Title: Now Is the Time! – 2Corinthians 6:1-2 (If you don’t have a Bible handy, you can read this passage at BibleGateway.com)
Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time.
To accept God’s favor, accept God’s forgiveness, accept God’s salvation,
now is the time.
Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time.
To love one another, help one another, serve one another, now is the time.
Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time.
To lift up our voices, sing out His praises, live in His glory, now is the time.
Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time. Now, now, now is the time. NOW!
How could the Corinthian believers ignore God’s message? Perhaps they were doubting Paul and his words, confused by the false teachers, who taught a different message. The people heard God’s message but did not let it affect what they said and did. How often do you and I ignore God’s message?
God offers salvation to all people. Many people put off a decision for Christ, thinking that there will be a better time-but they could easily miss their opportunity altogether. There is no time like the present to receive God’s forgiveness. Don’t let anything hold you back from coming to Christ. The right time is now!
