"Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God"
wasn't the only sermon of lasting value delivered by Jonathan Edwards. He also addressed
"The Preciousness of Time and the Importance of Redeeming It" for "when it is gone, it cannot be purchased for money and cannot be redeemed by silver or gold."
According to the Scriptures a man is allotted seventy years. This converts to 25,550 days. Multiply 365 days by your age to find the number of days you have lived.
Now,
subtract the number of your days from the 25,550 allotted days to get an idea of how many days you may have left.
Edwards said, "If one were as foolish with his money as with his time, throwing it away like he throws away time, we would think him insane and not in his right mind."
The devil tells youth that there is plenty of time left to consider the things of God. "When their youth is passed, he tells them that they have lost so much - the best of their time - it is not worthwhile to attempt doing anything."
This clear, precise presentation of Mr. Edward's sermon, delivered in December 1734, is refreshing and easy to read.
Those who feel a sense of urgency will find the last section, "How to Make the Best Use of Time." to be extremely helpful. Time does NOT heal all things, God does and the Scriptures are concise in their counsel concerning time.
"The Preciousness of Time and the Importance of Redeeming It" along with ten other classic messages by Jonathan Edwards have been revised and updated by Mark Trigsted and gathered under the title "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God."
