Time Is Running Out!

 

 

 

Eph 5:16 

 

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

 

 

Are you using your time wisely? God gave every man time and it's up to us what we do with it.

 

Just because we are called to be Saints or even may be Saints does not mean that we can simply become relaxed, lukewarm and just waiting for the rapture. As we sit here this evening time is ticking down. We must remain diligent before the Lord in all things. WE MUST REDEEM THE TIME! The point that The Apostle Paul is making concerning "Redeeming the Time" is that time is most precious and what we do with it will determine how we live before the Lord. Time is not on our side. Time is running out! In other words time is leaving us! It's running out on us!

 

I. Living On Borrowed Time

 

How do you use time? Notice that I did not say how do you use your time? Time is not yours. Time is the Lords who gave it. The Lord did not give time so we can do whatever we want with it. There is coming a  place when TIME will be no more!

 

B. It's Time To Wake Up!

 

Rom 13:11  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

 

1Co 15:34  Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

 

Rom 2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

 

Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

1Pe 3:20  Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

 

II. Time Will Soon Come To An End

 

Rev 10:5  And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

 

Rev 10:6  And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

 

III. Even The Devil Knows His Time Is Short

 

Rev 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

 

We must understand that time is not on our side unless we are on the Lords side. Time is not precious to those that waste it. Time is only precious to those who use it wisely. Do we understand that time someone that must be purchased? Time is only put to good use if it's used for the Kingdom of God. Other than that time is being wasted.

 

We purchase time by the way we treat it or use it.

 

The greatest waste in our world and throughout history has been time!

 

We must see time as an opportunity for the furtherance of the Kingdom!

 

Lastly Eternity is not time, its FOREVER! Where will you spend Eternity?
