Indecision may feel harmless—a quiet postponement, a simple “not now”—yet Scripture reveals its eternal consequences. Governor Felix heard the gospel from Paul, a message of righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment. Though his conscience was pierced and fear gripped his heart, he delayed, saying, “Go away for now; when I find the time, I will summon you.” That promised moment never came. His hesitation became a lasting warning of how indecision can lead to spiritual ruin.

Paul, though imprisoned, was free in spirit; Felix, though in power, remained bound by sin. Knowledge of the truth cannot save a hardened heart. Many today are like Felix—touched by conviction yet slow to respond. We assume there will always be another day, another opportunity, another chance to turn to God. Yet time is fleeting, and each delay hardens the soul further, making the cost of obedience seem greater than the consequence of waiting.

The story of Felix reminds us that the most dangerous word is “tomorrow.” Salvation is not something to postpone; it is a gift to receive today. As Paul declared, now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. Hesitation is itself a choice—one that echoes into eternity. What might it look like to respond to God’s call today, without delay, and embrace the life He offers?
