The Urgency of Conversion
Commentators like Albert Barnes and John Gill see this verse as a powerful picture of true conversion. When a person is convicted of their sin and understands God's commands, the proper response is immediate action, not delay or excuse-making. As Barnes notes, the main difficulty in conversion is often the sinner's unwillingness to obey God at once.
