Perhaps you have always believed in Christianity, have some idea of your need of salvation, and sometimes desire the good things of the gospel. Why then are you not a Christian? Is it because you do not desire these good things strongly enough to be prepared to accept God's terms?
Do you speak of "finding God" some day? That really means turning to God in repentance and faith. Do you really want to find Him?
You may acknowledge God's claims and yet evade personal surrender to Christ by trusting in religious services, a correct creed and perhaps even church work. Through pride and moral character are you trusting in your own deliverance?
Is there some sin, some evil habit or secret indulgence or resentment you will not give up? Are you afraid of what people will say?
What is the point where you are saying "NO" to God?
Is not the real reason simply this: you are unwilling to submit to God; you are unwilling to admit your need as a guilty sinner and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Oh, yield now to the Lord Jesus Christ; you will never regret it!
There is nothing mysterious about "coming." It is one of the simplest of words: a child understands it. If Christ were standing before you now, and you heard Him say, "Come," would you have to ask what He meant?
When the Lord walked upon the Sea of Galilee, Peter requested: "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water." Matthew 14:2828And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. (Matthew 14:28). Jesus said to him, "Come." It was the simplest of things to obey.
Come then to Him with all your need, and if you "-ask Him to receive you; Will He say you, 'Nay?'
Not till earth, and not till heaven
Pass away!"

"I will in no wise cast out," says Christ.
"I have served Satan all my days," say you.
"I will in no wise cast out," says Christ.
"But I have sinned against the light," say you.
"I will in no wise cast out," says Christ.
"I have no good thing to bring," say you.
"I will in no wise cast out," says Christ.
