Lesson 130MinistryDirect Prophecy

The Acceptable Time

Isaiah prophesied a future day of salvation.

Old Testament

Isaiah 49:8

This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you."

New Testament

2 Corinthians 6:2

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.

Why This Matters

Isaiah prophesied a future day of salvation. Paul declares that day is now — through Christ, the acceptable time has arrived. God's favor is not a distant hope but a present reality for all who believe.

Reflection

Jesus, keep me close to You in service. Let this lesson turn knowledge into prayerful action.
