WE SHOULD BE MOVED BY GODLY FEAR

Acts 24:24-25  And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. {25} And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
 
We should be moved with conviction of the sin in our life.  Unlike Felix we should make things right with God at this time and not try to wait for a convenient season.  What could be a more convenient than right now.
 
Once we are moved by God to be convicted (strongly convinced of the seriousness) of our sins we should be moved to repentance.  We hear the word repent a lot.  What it really means is a change of direction.  Repentance should bring about a change of heart so strong that it cause a change of our direction.  Instead of moving away from God we will move toward Him.
 
The closer we move toward God, the closer we move to righteousness.  Righteousness can only be found and achieved through Jesus Christ.

Don't wait for a convenient season.  Move toward God now.
