When it comes to salvation… it’s never too late. Regardless of what you’ve done… you can turn to the Lord and receive your gift of Life. BUT you must come with a repentance heart, truly sorry for what you’ve done, inflicted on others. And you must resolve to never repeat those words and acts. If this describes you then there is always hope…. it never is too little, too late.
Your unsaved position is both a status that you share with many and is one that you can choose to change. The perspective that you must begin with is God’s. How He views sin, separation, ‘conditions’ for restoration, etc. Man is the one who moved away from God, sinned, continued, and was in need of forgiveness. It would be God who would be the one determining the route.
The following scriptures represent God’s view. What He did to help us back to relationship. All these verses come from Romans and the Amplified Bible.
“As it is written and forever remains written, ‘There is none righteous not even one.” 3:10
“… since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin,
made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus…” 3:23-24“But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 5:8
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 6:23
“…because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.” 10:9-10
This is the way to relationship… and it is NEVER too late to acknowledge and accept the free gift of salvation.
“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.” 10:13
