If your job offers insurance, you probably know what open enrollment season feels like.
Our HR department is always really good about reminding us: don’t forget to sign up. Don’t put it off. There is a window, and if you miss it, you may be without coverage for the coming year.
That got me thinking about something much bigger.
In a way, our time here on earth is an enrollment period too. We are given this life to respond to Jesus, to receive the forgiveness He offers, and to trust Him with our eternity.
The difference is, this is not about choosing a health plan or checking a box. This is about whether we will receive the salvation Jesus has already made possible for us.
Acts 22:16 says, “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on His name.”
Then 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, “Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Both of those verses carry the same reminder: don’t keep putting Jesus off for later.
I think it is easy to assume we have plenty of time. We tell ourselves we will get serious about faith someday, or deal with those questions later. But Scripture keeps bringing us back to now.
Jesus has already made the way. The forgiveness is available. The invitation is open.
So if you know you need Him, don’t wait for a better time. Today is a good day to call on His name.
