In Isaiah 49:8, we read, “Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages.”
God gave Christ as a covenant to the people of earth. It is through Christ that we can have hope of salvation. It is through Christ that we have hope of living in heaven for eternity. It is by accepting the terms of the covenant given by Christ in the New Testament that we enter into the covenant. It is by obeying the terms of the covenant that we gain the promises of the covenant.
In 2 Corinthians 6:2, we read, “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” Every day should be lived as the day of salvation. This means that we must live according to the terms of the covenant every day. We should not put off accepting the covenant. Nor should we delay obeying its terms.
Today is an acceptable time. Are you obeying God? Have you been studying your Bible? If not, then you should begin right now doing so. And if any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.
