Bro. Welch had taken some carpentry classes and he was required in one class to build a box according to the pattern and measurements given. At the end of the class, the Instructor would measure and examine the box and a grade would be given based on how the box measured up to the plans.
Once the instructor judged the box, that was his grade. There was no back tracking. The grade would then stand, no matter what you did to the box after that.
But before the instructor judged the box, you could measure the box and judge it yourself, by comparing what you had to the diagrams and measurements given. You could make adjustments as needed. You could even tear it down and start all over if you felt it wasn't right.
So it is in the kingdom. We ought to measure our lives by the word of God now. We have an awesome opportunity now to get things right. There will be no more time to go back and redo things. We must make adjustments now, while we can.
