I plead with you to stop putting off getting saved. What I am about to warn you about is something modern, professing Christians won't warn you
about because modern, professing Christians don't believe the Bible. They hate and reject the Bible, and they only care about telling you what you want to hear and remaining popular and being liked.
I actually care about you and tell you this in love and that is that the Bible warns that it can become too late for some people. Meaning that some people can cross a line where there is no more hope for them. Don't have a mindset that you will just think about this later or wait till the end of your life to think about this, because firstly, you aren't even promised tomorrow and secondly, if you keep putting your salvation off, it can also become too late for you in this life. There are people who keep rejecting God over and over and over that they will eventually be rejected by God.
A person can get to a point where their heart is completely hardened like Pharaoh and their eyes are darkened and they are given over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28) and they are sent a strong delusion.
No one can say for sure when a person reaches that point or crosses that line, but it's a reality in the Bible and it is something to think about.
Yes, Jesus Christ is full of mercy, grace, long-suffering, patience and His love passes knowledge, but He is also full of justice, holiness, judgement and wrath, so don't abuse this, don't mess around with God. Take the Lord seriously and take this life seriously. There is a reason why the Bible warns us about people who it becomes too late for.
Allow me to show you:
Hosea 9:15-17 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
John 12:39 - Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
2 Timothy 3:7 - Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
I am warning you today to get right with God now while you still can! Yes, it is possible for a person to get to a point where they can no longer believe because their eyes have been completely blinded and their heart completely hardened. The Bible is clear about this. I do not want you to get to this point.
Proverbs 29:1 - He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
God gives people multiple chances to be saved. God gives Christians multiple chances after they're saved to come back to Him when they're backslidden. Obviously a Christian who is already saved can never lose their salvation no matter what, but they can ruin their life here on earth physically speaking if they live a wicked, disobedient and sinful life.
God is constantly giving people another chance and reaching out to people. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God is long-suffering, God is patient and merciful, but God's patience has an end, His long-suffering comes to an end, He is not the God of infinite chances
God says in Isaiah 55:6, "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:"
People, seek God WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND. It comes a point where it gets too late.
Proverbs 1:23 - Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Let me be very clear about verse 28: This verse is NOT saying that a person can believe on Jesus Christ and not be saved. Because anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved and there are no exceptions to that because the Bible says in Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
But we have to get that in the context of what comes right before and right after in verse 14 - How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And right before in verse 9-10 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
So when the Bible says here in Proverbs 1 that they will call upon me and I will refuse them, I won't answer, I will not be found of them, this is NOT saying that a person can believe on Jesus Christ and not be saved. What this is saying is that people will cry out to the Lord and it's too late for that person, but it doesn't say that that person believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the difference. The people here in Proverbs 1:28 are crying out for help or to be rescued out of a bad situation.
The people here in Proverbs 1 are not choosing to believe in God, they are just crying out to God for help because the wickedness of their life has caught up with them and they are now going through hard times. Many lost people who refuse to accept the Gospel do this.
So, we see in Proverbs 1 that it is too little, too late by unsaved wicked people who all the sudden realize that they're being destroyed, desolate and a failure and now they're gonna turn to the Lord. It might just be too late for those people.
Now many times we are amazed by God's mercy, like for example, in the story of Manasseh who was a really wicked guy who burned his children alive as an offering to Satan, but yet Manasseh sought the Lord and the Lord was found of him later in life. But then we see other examples in the Bible where it's too late like in Proverbs 1.
So don't push it with God. You better seek the Lord now while you can. Get saved now.
Folks, your time is very short here
James 4:14 - Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Now is the day of salvation!
DO YOU KNOW?
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
WHO IS GOOD?
As it is written, There is none righteous, not not one. (Romans 3:10)
WHO HAS SINNED?
For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
WHERE SIN CAME FROM
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed upon ALL men, for that ALL have sinned. (Romans 5:12)
GOD’S PRICE ON SIN
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
GOD’S WAY OUT!
But God commendeth His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9-10) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
1 Corinthians 15:1 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 3:24 - Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Acts 16:30 - And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Will you please call upon the Lord Jesus now and ask Him to Save you? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ today!
