GOD IS ETERNAL, BUT HIS PATIENCE IS LIMITED.
Please share this lesson with your family, friends, Facebook pages, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
God allows men a period of probation; but there is a point beyond which divine patience is exhausted, and the judgments of God are sure to follow.
The Lord bears long with men, and with cities, mercifully giving warnings to save them from divine wrath; but a time will come when pleadings for mercy will no longer be heard, and the rebellious element that continues to reject the light of truth will be blotted out, in mercy to themselves and to those who would otherwise be influenced by their example.PK 276.3
Satan's logic is so pursuasive, that it deceived one third of the Angels of heaven, Adam and Eve, and, at the time of flood, everybody on earth, except eight people.
Are there similarities with the antediluvian culture and lifestyle, and the world today? We are told that "every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." Genesis 6:5. Does that appraisal of man before the flood match the perverted picture of Noah's modern descendants?
For the answer to that question, consult your morning newspaper, and the local TV news. INIQUITY IS RAMPANT.
Crime is out of control. Terrorists strike in unexpected places. No one would question that evil imaginations mark the present age with its harvest of violence, and lawlessness.
Is there also evidence that the Holy Spirit is striving with human hearts and confronting multitudes with their final invitation of mercy?
As an evangelist, I can bear witness that there is a present raging controversy, revolving around every living soul. Some who are reading these words are on the verge of making a decision that can mean LIFE or DEATH, and at the same time, Satan plays upon your ungrounded fears to try to hold you back from an all-out commitment. You are being tempted, like Felix, to wait for a more convenient season, but such a time, will never come (Acts 24:25).
A ray of light from heaven had been permitted to shine upon Felix, when Paul reasoned with him concerning righteousness, temperance, and a judgment to come.
That was his heaven-sent opportunity to see and to forsake his sins. But he said to the messenger of God, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.” He had slighted his last offer of mercy. Never was he to receive another call from God. AA 427.2
To linger now is to become a part of the VAST MAJORITY who were destroyed in the flood, and who represent those who will be unprepared when Jesus comes again.
As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:37. How many were saved in those days from the global disaster? Only eight had the faith in God's word to be shut in that monstrosity of a boat.
They were the only survivors. Will there be any kind of proportionate number spared "in the days of the Son of man"? All agree that this is talking about the end of the world and the coming of Jesus.
WHY SO FEW?
But why is it that such a comparative few respond to those calls for surrender? Why should anyone need to be begged to enter the glorious salvation of our Lord?
I want to answer those questions, in such a way that you will never forget it. Even Jesus confirmed that only a few would be willing to follow the narrow road to heaven. Most would choose the broad road of death, where the great majority would be traveling.
We live in an easy, permissive age, where self-denial is decidedly out of fashion. Truth has become very negotiable in the relaxed, ecumenical climate of contemporary religion.
