The Bible tells us to make good use of our time. Ephesians 5:15-16 says, “Be very careful, then, how to live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” Our life here in this world is short, which makes our decision about where we choose to spend eternity more urgent. Only God knows when our last day on earth will be. How are you deciding to live your life? As Christians, we have the gift of eternal life with Christ after death because of the price He paid for us on the cross. We have the opportunity to share that truth with others using the time the Lord has blessed us with. Billy Graham lived this out by sharing the Gospel at every opportunity. Mr. Graham talked about time often in his books and sermons.
