Now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you. For behold, this live is the time for men to prepare to meet God. (Alma 34:31-32
In a sense, every day is a day of decision. We must decide whether we will continue faithful, remain open to spiritual promptings and keep our covenants. We must decide whether we will continue to pause on our present spiritual plateau or choose instead to fight the inertia and climb higher. Every thought, every feeling, every action contributes to who we are and what we are becoming, and thus either adds or detracts from the eventual realization of our salvation. Thus today is “The time for men to prepare to meet God.” There is nothing we can do about the past, except to repent, and the future doesn’t belong to us yet. We have only now. If we are striving to keep the commandments and cultivate the spirit of revelation, then it could be said of us. As it was said of former-day Saints, that “now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Romans13:11)
