They Shall Never Perish [Tract]

Full Text of This Product

Andy Hadley liked animals and he lived in a wooded area which had plenty of deer and other wildlife. One morning, while walking across a field, he heard barking dogs running toward him. Just beyond him, on the other side of a fence, he saw a poor tired fawn, with its sides heaving and its tongue hanging from its mouth. The little fawn had enough strength left to jump the fence; but when it tried to run from the dog which came through the fence behind it, it simply fell down at Andy’s feet.

Later, telling the story, Andy said, “I couldn’t stand there and see the poor fawn torn apart by the dogs—not after it had come to me for protection. As the dogs gathered around, I defended the little creature. I stood there and fought the dogs for half an hour. I did not want any dog to capture the little fawn after its weakness had trusted in my strength.”

Poor sinners who cast themselves on the mercy of the Lord find Him to be a Savior and a Defender. Had the little deer depended on its own strength and continued running, the dogs would soon have caught and killed it. Those who try to outrun sin, Satan, and the judgment of God will find that they cannot run away from sin, and the punishment it requires.

If you are not saved, you are in great danger. God’s Word, the Bible, says, “Flee from the wrath to come.” Luke 3:7. Run to the Lord Jesus Christ—the only One who can save you. You will find in Him a Friend—One who defends all who put their trust in Him. At Calvary’s cross, He took the punishment and received all the mighty blows of God’s eternal judgment against sin, so that you and I might be spared. Now God can say, “Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

As sinners in need of being saved from our sins, we will never be disappointed if we turn to the Lord Jesus and depend on Him. He said, “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37.

And He said, “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:28
