Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It is an open invitation. Nobody is exempted. Christ came once and for all people, across every generation, and died as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. His death took all our shame, pain and punishment with him to the grave. His life guarantees our own; his life means that only in union with him can we truly live. Any living that is done outside of him is not life. Any comfort or convenience that we enjoy outside of Him is always temporary. It is open to all, no matter the past or present.
One warning though: like all free things, there's the danger of abuse or ignorance. We don't appreciate things we don't 'fight' for, and we don't count as anything what we have not strugglex for. The gift of salvation is a lot different. No man can come to God boasting about ability, capability or qualification; Christ did all that for us. He just wants us to take up his free offer and enjoy the benefits of his life. One day soon, the gift will run its full course and expire. It will too late then. Now is the acceptable time; today is the day of salvation.
Call today, don't wait till tomorrow. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow except those who have taken the gift. His time of favour is here.
