The Time of Our Obedience

Our Lord who searches the hearts and minds, who sees everything so clearly and examines everything so closely in love to His people, looks for obedience and progress in that obedience within a specific time. He will commend and He will reward the obedience that He sees and He will chasten with sickness, tribulation, and death, those who will not repent. So the question that we are asking this afternoon is, "How does time relate to our obedience in the mind of our Lord Jesus Christ?" And I can answer that question by giving you 2 statements of truth.
