What does the Bible say about procrastination in faith?
Answered in 1 source
Procrastination in faith can lead to eternal consequences, as seen in Felix's refusal to respond to Paul's preaching.
The Bible illustrates the dangers of procrastination through the story of Felix, who, despite trembling at the truth of the gospel, chose to defer his acceptance of Christ for a more 'convenient season.' This reflects the natural man's inclination to delay repentance and faith, believing there is always more time. However, as Felix's story shows, such procrastination can be deadly. His opportunity for salvation faded, and he ultimately perished in his sins. Hebrews 3:15 warns us, 'Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.' This call to immediate response emphasizes that the time to come to Christ is now, for tomorrow is never guaranteed.
