There’s an old saying, “Better late than never.” It implies that so long as something get’s done, even if it is accomplished long after is should have been, that’s okay, since it’s better late than never. However, in the realm of spiritual matters this does not always ring true. Case in point is the Rich man from Luke 16:19-31, he learned five lessons shortly after it was too late. If we will be wise, we can learn from this man so that we will not have to suffer the same fate as he did.
