He who provides for this life, but takes no care for eternity, is wise for a moment, but a fool forever. -Tillotson
Proverbs 2:10-11, When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
Many people claim to be wise but yet if they were so wise, they would have repented and trusted Jesus as Saviour a long time ago. This; I need to spread my wild oats, I need to live a little, or I’m just not ready, has cost many people an eternity in Hell. Verse 10 says, “Discretion shall preserve thee…” The wisdom of salvation is a gift from God. God tells us that this wisdom gives us a chance to be saved. It is offered to all but many will reject it because they don’t have the wisdom to know they need it. They don’t have the wisdom to see the simplicity of the Gospel. They don’t see their need of The Saviour thereby they would rather take their chances.
Friend, if you are wrong it will cost you an eternity. If I’m wrong, it costed me nothing!
