Derek Cole urges young people to respond to God's call now, warning that delay hardens the heart. He explains repentance as a change of mind and life, and says the first step toward salvation is giving up persistent sins with God's help.
Chapters
And the scripture says, come while you're young. Don't wait till you get older. Because you see, the older you get, the harder your heart becomes. And there'll come a time when the spirit of God will speak to you. But your heart is too hard to hear. You've put it off too long. Come while you can. And many of you older people or senior citizens that may be here tonight, if God has even whispered to you, you come. This may be your last moment when you'll be so close to the kingdom of God, you open your heart and let Christ in. You say, what do I have to do? First, Repent of your sins. The word repent means to change. Change your mind, change your way of living. But you can't do that. You have no power to do that. There's some things in your life that you know are wrong that you cannot give up. But God will help you if you let it.
