“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”
For he says, 'In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you, now is the time of God's favor; now is the day of salvation — Paul cites Isaiah 49:8. The 'now' (nun) is repeated; present is the urgent moment of grace. Delay is presumption. Salvation is accessible in this instant.
