It's That Time

Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?  I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.  What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee.  Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.  It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void Thy law.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.  Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.  But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.  Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.  Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the Atonement.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.  Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.  Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace.

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever.  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
