Why “Today” is the Day of Salvation “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2

Urgency is stressed in the choice to obey and follow Jesus. The disciples “immediately” left their nets and followed Jesus (Matt. 4:18-22). 3,000 were baptized “that day” (Acts 2:40-41). The Jailer was baptized “immediately,” “the same hour of the night” (Acts 16:33). Paul was asked, “why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins” (Acts 22:16).

Why “Today” is the Day of Salvation It is a Great Salvation Heb. 2:1-4 We Don’t Know When Death Will Come Luke 16:25; James 4:13-17 To Give Hope To Our Loved Ones 1 Thess. 4:13-18 To Redeem the Time Eph. 5:15-16; 1 Pet. 4:3 To Enjoy the Blessings Found in Christ Phil. 4:6-19
