There is no truth in the Bible more sure and certain than this: that as a man dies, so he remains throughout eternity—that as the tree falls, so the tree lies. They that are filthy are filthy still; they that are righteous are righteous still.
We have no need to tell you that you must not wait till eternity to seek the Lord. When eternity arrives, when the cry is heard, “The Bridegroom is coming!” and when the lamps are lighted and the doors shut, it will be a sad time to every man or woman at whose door Christ has stood for days and years and knocked and knocked and the door was not opened to Him.
Ah, that person shall stand in turn at Christ’s door and knock and knock with prayers and tears: “Lord, Lord, open to me!” But Christ shall not open the door.
“I know you not,” says the Lord; “the door is shut!” And when the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, none can open it again.
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh” (Matthew 25:1313Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:13)).
