Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”
Have you ever been out shopping and been caught by a very good, slick salesman who almost persuaded you to buy something you hadn't thought of buying? Then you managed to extricate yourself by saying "let me think about it"!
Once you get away from his influence, you decide against it. You were "almost" persuaded.
Please don't be like that if you feel the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart. Don't turn away, go for it - straightaway.
If you don't, the enemy of your soul will quickly come in with negative thoughts to put you off - saying "all this God stuff is fairy tales"!
Hebrew 3:15
Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.”
We may think we've got ages left to turn to Jesus - to that I say: "There's no time like the present"!
The Bible puts it this way:
2 Corinthians 6:2
For He says,
“In the time of My favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, NOW is the time of God’s favour, NOW is the day of salvation."
I implore you, if you are hearing Jesus knocking at your heart's door - open up and let him in.
Don't be an "almost" persuaded!
You'll spend eternity regretting it.
