“the Day Is at Hand”

If you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be wondering how much longer we can possibly be left here. Surely for Christians "the night is far spent, the day is at hand." Rom. 13:12. "At hand" in Scripture means that no more prophecy has to be fulfilled before that "day" of the Lord's coming for the Church. The foregoing is not intended to set dates and especially in regard to the Lord's coming for the Church. That has been the blessed hope for the Church down through all its history, though lost sight of for a long time.
We know Peter has written in 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." It should be obvious to any Christian who is at all familiar with his Bible that we are in the last moments of the day of grace. May our hearts be encouraged to more faithfulness to Him who is the faithful and true witness.
The moment that God's purposes concerning the Church are completed, our Lord Jesus will come according to His promise in John 14:1-3. The manner of His coming will be according to 1 Thess. 4:13-18. Thus at the very end of the day of grace there is still an opportunity to receive Jesus as Lord and be saved. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Rom. 10:9. Time is short! Any moment may be the last moment that salvation through the grace of God is available to you. The Lord Jesus invites you, "Come unto Me." Matt. 11:28. God loves you, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
