Now is the time for salvation - it’s not worth the risk of putting it off. You don’t know when you’ll enter eternity, and the course you choose in this life determines the course you’ll take forever after. We tend to admire and aspire to independence in our culture. We all want to be self-made and successful. In our spiritual lives, this isn’t possible - that’s religion, and it doesn’t work. As Pastor Ron will remind us in today’s message, the only way that does work is to trust in Jesus to make us righteous before God.
