The Grace Period
We are living in a grace period— “the last days” (2 Timothy 3:1), between the first coming of Christ and His return to bring history to its proper conclusion. It lies in the intersection of two ages: “this present age” and “the age to come.” The kingdom of God is both “now” and “not yet.”
For you, the grace period is from the time you were born until the time you die or until Christ returns. Only God knows the day, the hour and the circumstances of your death and only He knows the day and the hour of the second coming of Jesus.
It is the reason you exist on the earth— to be reconciled to God, by His grace and through the righteousness of His Son— to restore your relationship with Him that was broken by sin. It is what your life on this earth is all about. It is the ultimate “success”— the only “real” lasting success in this world.
Tragically, most people miss it, even though they may live long, successful lives by the world’s standards. They gain much in this life but die without receiving the one thing that really matters forever.
You don’t have to believe any of this if you don’t want to, but if you have heard the Good News and reject the saving grace of Jesus Christ, you are literally choosing to forfeit your soul for eternity and you are without excuse.
