Now is always the best time for Gospel living. There are many I hear say that they must change before they can go to God; Jesus already changed everything in His death and resurrection, go live it out and it's implications now. There are those who say when they have the right plan or strategy they will change; Jesus already fulfilled the plan conceived by the Father before time even existed, and Jesus says only to follow Him. We often think if only we can change our motives, change our feelings, change our thoughts, change our relationships, change our dreams, change our cloths, change our job, change our friends, change our behavior at that time we can go to God; Jesus willingly took on our sins and botches and screwed up motives and motifs of stupidity and rebellion and was put to death in our place not so we could change everything about us but that we could finally and freely love our Heavenly Father and our fellow man NOT IN PERFECTION but with a love that exists only because of what Jesus accomplished.
Repentance does not always mean cease and desist, rather go, now, and live.
