SO GOOD QUOTES

If one person were to say to another, “I will continue to be disloyal to You until death, but at the hour of death, I will stop being disloyal”, would you consider this acceptable? Can one person say to another, “I am still young; I will continue to be unfaithful to you, but when I am older, I will stop being unfaithful”? What does this mean? It means, “It is still early days- do not disturb us by talking about the hour of death”. But what about your relationship with God? Let us leave the hour of death aside. Suppose you will live for a hundred years. Would you betray the Lord now, challenge Him now, grieve the Holy Spirit now?
