How do we know that the urgency of the gospel message is true?
Answered in 1 source
The urgency of the gospel is affirmed in scripture, highlighting that salvation should be sought now, as there may be no tomorrow.
Scripture imparts a sense of urgency regarding the gospel, particularly conveyed in 2 Corinthians 6:2 where Paul proclaims, 'now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.' This urgency stems from the understanding that spiritual opportunities can be fleeting. The call to action is clear; we are to respond to God's invitation for reconciliation without delay. Just as in the case of Felix who postponed his acceptance of the gospel, we risk losing the opportunity for salvation when we wait. Recognizing the immediacy of the gospel compels believers to act faithfully and share this message with others, emphasizing that now is the appointed time for salvation.
