Revelation 22:10-11

Revelation 22:10-11. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, Let him be holy still.

If your character is not what it ought to be, you must not delay your appeal to him who alone can change it, "for the time is at hand" when your character and state will be fixed for ever. As when there is a sharp frost the water in the brooks is soon congealed, so are there influences at work which are consolidating character; beware lest Christ’s coming or the summons through death should find you unprepared, and so cause you to remain for ever just as you now are.
