How do I redeem time?
You redeem time by buying out your 24 hours today for eternity using the Word of God as your capital. Every minute spent in fellowship, filled by means of the Spirit, belongs to you forever, while time spent out of fellowship is lost. To buy this time, follow these seven steps: be filled by means of the Spirit, study, apply the Word, endure or wait, pray, submit, and serve. Since the Word is the only thing we take into eternity, we must listen to God today.
