The Daily Call of 'Today'

Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that the repetition of 'Today' signifies God's continuous, daily call. The opportunity to hear His voice isn't a one-time event but a present reality for believers each day. This means faith requires ongoing attentiveness and obedience, not just a past decision.
