There’s a term used in prisons to refer to a felon who is walking from the cell to the death chamber. It’s called "dead man walking." For all intents and purposes, this person’s fate is sealed. Only a last minute call from the governor could stop the inevitable.
At one time, in a spiritual sense, all of us were "dead man walking"-some of us still are. The difference here is that we don’t have to wait for that last-minute call. We can make the call ourselves.
Peter, in the Book of Acts, reminds us, "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Acts 2:21, NLT). God doesn’t want to see us die apart from Him; that’s why He has provided us this escape through Jesus. All we have to do is call.
