The same holds true today. There will come a time when there will be no remedy for sin. We are living in the day of grace, when God's mercy is being outpoured upon the world. The time will come when the door of God's mercy will close. His word is being preached all over the world. The warnings are going out, but a lot of people are not listening. They are still mocking the people and the things of God. This will not go on forever.
God is a God of mercy but He cannot and will not tolerate the sin of this world forever. Be very sure where you stand in what you believe. Don't be deceived and listen to what the world is saying. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and make sure you are safe within God's fold.
