Many can say with Peter, that they will not stick to die before they will deny Christ; but when it comes to the trial, they are ready to abjure Christ and his religion before they will hazard either life or living.

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. lest the wrath of the Lord 1break forth suddenly, and 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, Genesis 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.
