Paul had established the church at Corinth with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Paul had fulfilled the work of an ambassador (II Corinthians 5:18-21).
But not even Paul was sure that everyone in the church of Corinth was genuinely born again (II Corinthians 13:5). His quote in II Corinthians 6:2 is actually taken from Isaiah 49:8. So Paul is telling those in the church: make sure of your salvation, for now is the day of salvation.
A pastor was dealing with a young lady who was arguing that she had plenty of time to decide about her eternal destiny. So the pastor handed her a piece of paper and said, “Would you sign a statement that you would be willing to postpone salvation for a year?”
“No,” she said, “I will not!”
“How about six months?” Asked the pastor.
Again she said, “No!” Then she began to see the folly of her argument because she had assurance of only the present - “now.”
So it is with all those who are not born again. Today is the day of your salvation as well. None of us are assured of having a tomorrow; so today, now, right this moment, if you are not saved, will you ask Jesus Christ to save you from your sin?
