you count your days do you realize how important each day is I want to talk today about the brevity of life you know that in Jesus' day the fastest a person could go was the fastest a horse could run in the night this happened until 1830 when we developed an engine faster than a horse you know modern things to save time and we have less time than ever before we have much less time now than my father and mother had in the days of horses and buggies we have fast automobiles and planes and we run
from place to place like crazy time is falling apart on us How much longer do we have God and age to and we are like a shadow that is declining from the moment we were born we are all heading towards physical death so you use your time use your time to serve Christ use your time to live according to God's will use your time to obey him place yourself at God's disposal and do as the psalmist says in Chapter 31 Verse 15 mine times are in your hands in your hands are my days what have
you done and will do with your days with your time every human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day Do you know how many minutes there are in a day there are 1440 minutes do you know how many hours there are in a week H 168 hours if a person lives to be 70 years old the first 15 years are childhood and adolescence about 20 years spent sleeping the last 5 years are of physical limitations and reduced activities What does it mean who actually only has 30 years 30 years to
live and still part of that time has to be spent eating working and calculating income tax the scriptures ask this question what is your life is it a vapor that appears for a brief time and then disappears, the truth is that our time is already in God 's hands. great judgment of God to give an account of how we have been in this life and what each one of us did in relation to Jesus Christ because God gave his only son to die for our sins Because we human beings are all sinners we all have
the same disease, no It matters the color of your skin because God doesn't look at the color of your skin God looks at your heart and what is manifested in your attitudes God sees that you have spiritual heart disease spiritual heart disease is called sin it's interesting to me that rich people cannot buy more hours more time scientists cannot invent new minutes no person can save time to spend it another day the scriptures say that we must redeem time enjoy time is a phrase outside the business of the world it means to earn time means
having wisdom in how we live and we must live in constant awareness of time making the most of the time we have, set aside at least 10% of your time and say Lord this time is yours use it to study the bible and for prayer you have already given it all your life to Christ You are already committed to Christ Oh but maybe you say yes that you have already been baptized that you go to church from time to time that you think about God from time to time but you are really committed you are
totally committed to him If If you were to die at this moment you are sure you would go to heaven you are sure your sins are forgiven because that is why Christ came into the world to die on the cross shed his blood and be raised from the dead by God the tyranny of time controls us in a way for others that we have enough time to do everything that needs to be done Jesus taught us that we must do the works of God while it is day while there is opportunity while there is life
because the night which means death is the end when you will not have the opportunity to serve God then serve him while you can serve him now put him first in your life We read in John 17:4 that Jesus said I glorified God on earth by doing the work The work he gave me to do God has a plan for your life and you can accomplish it with the help of God and he will give a joy and a peace that you never dreamed existed if you put your trust in him but rather when Jesus
left the earth yet there were people who needed to be healed and lives that needed to be touched but as Jesus said he had already completed the work that had been assigned to him by the father God specially designated a job for you and you are unique No one can take your place and do what you need to do God needs you in his kingdom to be used as a tool in his hands time can be a good thing for us but we can also be his slaves time is also incredibly fair and merciful because
it doesn't matter how much time you wasted in the past you can still start over you can have the future a wise phrase says at the end of the day it's not the days in your life that count but it's the life in your days eternal life is real and what we do here in this life will define where we go in eternity Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us God did everything appropriate in its due time he also put eternity in the heart of human beings without them being able to discover the works that God did from
the beginning until the end victory has a price we have to fight and we cannot waste our time with certain things we should not go Drifting drinking doing all the pleasures and all the other things that are wrong God also wants us to love others one of the main things he wants us to do is love our neighbors which distinguishes a believer from others it is love that dominates your life your life must be carefully planned because there is an end of time brothers the apostle Paul says in first Corinthians Time is short the Bible
also tells us that the time will come when there will be no more time Jesus and his disciples passed the 94 Verses from Matthew 24 to the end of chapter 25 talking about the end times as we approach the end times We read in Revelation 12 that the devil will be frantically active because he knows his days are numbered and yes the devil exists Satan exists he is real the demons are real and they are fighting for your soul because Satan doesn't want to give up on you they are fighting to keep you in the
kingdom of evil because there are only two kingdoms there is the kingdom of the devil and there is the Kingdom of God and you have the freedom to choose which one you want to be in Romans in chapter 13 the apostle Paul says and this I say knowing the time that it is time for us to awaken from sleep because our salvation is now closer to us than when we accepted faith the night is almost over the day is coming soon so let us put aside the works of darkness and let us clothe ourselves in
the Armor of light let us behave with decency as those who act in the light of day not in orgies and drunkenness not in sexual immorality and depravity not in quarrels and envy, on the contrary, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not premeditate how to satisfy the desires of the flesh the Bible uses the phrase several times the time is near Jesus told us to discern the signs of the times one of the signs is the increase in iniquity take your newspapers and watch the news iniquity abounds everywhere not just in New
York not just in New Jersey but all over the world in the final judgment when the book of life is opened you will be there your name will be written in the book of life because the scriptures say that if your name is not in the lamb's book of life you will never enter heaven but when you come to Christ, give yourself completely to him and have him as your Savior and Lord he will erase all records of your sins and will write your name in another book The Book of Life the book of the
lamb I knew that my name was written there I would not leave here today until I know for sure because there may never be another time like this in your life This is your time to already be with God because the brevity of time demands immediate action the fact that time is short demands that we do something about it that's why the scriptures say second Corinthians 6:2 Behold now is the acceptable time Behold now the day of salvation is not tomorrow it's today the things you should do do now the money you should donate donate
now today the people you should testify to testify now today Every time the clock ticks it seems to say now therefore as the Holy Spirit says if you listen to his voice today do not harden your hearts Be careful not to harden your heart you hear a message like this and it can be very dangerous because if you harden your heart the next time you hear the gospel your heart will be harder and harder and harder and you may not have another opportunity come to Christ now if there is even a Whisper in your heart
that you need to come come now because there is the warning of time someday it will be too late for your soul time is too short for indecision and vacillation don't get stuck between two opinions fools say a long time ago the Devil says a long time ago every morning you have 86,400 seconds to spend and invest each One day the bank called time opens a new account for you but there may not be tomorrow so come now when I tell you that you need to come and make your commitment to Christ and join hundreds
and thousands who have already come the devil will always say wait another time in another place this is not the time because in fact now is the right time the fact that you are here indicates that now is the right time by a state of divine providence God brought you here today before you came perhaps you thought you were right with God but now you're not sure and you want to be sure So be sure by doing your part yes the devil always says yes do it but at some other time and in some other
place God says here and now l
