Time Will Tell

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: - 2 Peter 1:10

    Time is really a hard thing to define. I suppose the simplest way, for me at least, is this—it is the beginning of all things and the end of all things. This I do know—God created it and someday there will be time no longer (Rv 10:5-6). In the Bible time is mentioned in 563 Scriptures, and in every one we see that God is in control of each event in time. In God’s workings in providence, he uses time to reveal many things. There have been many who professed to believe on Christ, love the Gospel, and were seemingly committed to him and his work. But in time their profession proved to be a charade.

    On the other hand there have been those who persevered in faith unto eternal glory, such as Paul—I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith (2 Tm 4:7). I wonder what time will reveal concerning us? Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall (2 Pt 1:10).

    Time will tell!
