The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand, Repent!

 The flames of hell are licking at your heels. You’re one heartbeat from eternity. Every breath you take brings you closer to a destiny you cannot escape. You’ve heard the Gospel. You’ve sat in the pew, sung the songs, maybe even prayed the sinner’s prayer. Yet your heart remains distant. You live as if judgment is a myth, as if Hell is someone else’s problem.

“So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16. Complacency and compromise are a deadly trap. Half‑hearted, indifferent faith is no faith at all. Jesus will not settle for part of you. He demands everything—your past, your present, your future—all surrendered to Him in repentance and trust.

True surrender means taking up your cross and following Him without reservation. “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:27. Carrying your cross means laying down your rights, your comforts, your plans. It means saying, “Lord, I will go where you lead, speak what you speak, live how you call me to live.”

Today is your only guarantee. “Behold, now is ‘the acceptable time,’ behold, now is ‘the day of salvation.’” 2 Corinthians 6:2. There is no promise of tomorrow. Every excuse—“Later,” “I’m not ready,” “I’ll clean up my life first”—is another step toward ruin. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. It’s calling you now to turn from sin and bow before King Jesus.

If you continue to stall, you’re playing with fire. True repentance is not empty words; it is a radical U‑turn of the heart. It is the moment you look at your sin, see it for what it is, and say, “Lord, I can’t walk this road any longer.” Only then does His grace flood in and rescue you from that consuming flame.

Don’t pretend there is more time. Don’t mistake comfort for security. The time for feel‑good messages is over. The call is urgent. Will you respond today, while there is still breath in your lungs? Will you step back from the edge and surrender fully to Christ? If you will, He stands ready with mercy, cleansing away your sin and setting your feet on the narrow path that leads to life.

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. ² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:1-2)
