“For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” Paul recorded that statement in Romans 13:11 completely unaware of the course of events that his life would take over the next few years. But it really doesn’t matter how life unfolds before us. With each passing hour we draw closer to eternity. The only thing we don’t know is how much time is left. But that is the reality of faith; confidence in what is unseen, and unknown. I need to remind myself of that truth every day. Since I am in a battle with the desires of this flesh it’s good for me to work with a deadline in mind. Since the deadline could be today I must press on. Not that I will accomplish my salvation, but by submitting to God he will complete it in my through Jesus.
It took me about 6 minutes to read this passage.
