Now is the Accepted Time (2 Corinthians 6:2)

Summary:
This sermon teaches that the best time to seek God’s salvation is now. Just as people must use the right moment in daily life, they must not delay when it comes to their soul. Life is short and uncertain, and there is no promise of another chance after death. The sermon urges people to respond while they can, especially in youth, on the Sabbath, during trouble, when others are turning to God, or when conscience is awakened.
