Now Is The Time
“For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2
Jeremy Benson remembers: “By the time I was 16, that’s when I really hit rock bottom. I was drinking all the time. I was smoking weed all the time. I had missed 55 days of school. I almost dropped out of high school.”
“One night, I was over at a friend’s house and we decided to play car tag. I was 16 at the time, and I remember trying to get away from my friend, who was in the truck following me. So I took a sharp turn, real quick, and I actually skidded into the front steps of a church. It was at that time where I just remember sitting there, looking at the church out the window, and just realizing that God – it was like God was trying to get my attention.”
“I just knew that the only hope that I did have was if God was real, to try to call on Him for help. And it was at that point that I remember kneeling down in the living room and just saying, ‘God, If you are real, I need you to come into my life and make a difference and make a change before it’s too late.’”
“After I prayed that prayer, you know, I really felt like God entered the room and honored what I had asked for, that I was saved, that God had rescued me.”
“Jesus really has become my best friend. He is so three-dimensional that he can not only be down-to-earth and be a best friend, but He is also Lord. He is also Savior. He is my hope. He’s my strength.”
We don’t have to wait for a special time to share the good news of the Gospel.
Pray for your friends and family who do not yet know Jesus Christ and be bold and loving as you share the Gospel with them.
