Almost ( Isaiah 1 v 18 )

The big event is over,Prince Harry and Meghan have got married,the minister who spoke at the wedding was Bishop Michael Curry from Chicago,he spoke on the power of love.One well known person tweeted the following,  ''The Rev M Curry could almost make me a Believer''. Well there are two things we could say about this,( 1 ), no one can make you a Christian, not even the Pope,not even Michael Curry,it is and must always be seen as a work of God ,John 1 v 12 - 13, ''To all who received Him (Jesus ) to those who believed in His name,he gave the right to become children of God.Children born not of human decision or a husband's will,but  born of God''.Islam take note.  ( 2 ) The word almost, struck a cord with me as I recollect the words spoken by King Agrippa,to Paul challenging testimony, ''Almost thou persuadest me  to be a Christian''(Acts 26 v 28 ) the words of an old hymn come to mind ,'almost but lost', we cannot stress enough ,of the importance, of the now in the gospel message.If God is speaking to you about   accepting Christ as your Saviour ?, then do it now,don't hesitate ,or it may be said of you,almost persuadest but lost.
