He that will come to Christ, must come at once, without delay, for delays (specially in the matter of our salvation) are most dangerous, and repentance may not be deferred. We must make no tarrying to turn unto the Lord, nor put off from day to day, least the wrath of the Lord break forth suddenly 1and we be destroyed in our security, and perish in the time of vengeance. When the Lord is minded to do us good, he will have us come quickly like Joseph. Gen. 45. 9. that in the time of famine, would have his father Jacob to come down quickly unto him, to sojourn in Egypt, where there was some plenty of food.
