"Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
This quote is a powerful lesson and should be taken seriously to heart by every child of God.
Our lives are far to short and unpredictable to rely on tomorrow because there well may not be a tomorrow. Knowing this we should devote every precious minute we might have left to making sure that those around us are aware of God's saving grace. We should present ourselves as living examples of the benefits of living within that grace.
As James pointed out in the last part of the quote, "to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." We will definitely atone for that sin, one way or another.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."(2 Corinthians 5-10
