And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
Romans 13:11 NKJV
“Now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”
We talk about salvation as that day when we first believed. When asked about my salvation and the day I was saved I’ll tell you about the time I heard the gospel and gave my life to Jesus.
Paul says my actual salvation is nearer now to me than on that day.
My salvation is the day when those great and precious promises of salvation become real. The day when evil is exposed and God triumphs. The day when pain gives way to peace. The day when I see Jesus face to face.
That is the time of my salvation. And it is nearer now then it has ever been!
Jesus, Your promises to me keep me going. They give me life and strength. Amen.
