THERE is only one way to keep out of hell. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31)). But there is no way of getting out. “Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee” (Job 36:1818Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. (Job 36:18)).
“Almost persuaded,” now to believe;
“Almost persuaded,” Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say?—
“Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On Thee I’ll call.”
“Almost persuaded,” harvest is past!
“Almost persuaded,” doom comes at last!
“Almost” cannot avail:
“Almost” is but to fail;
Sad, sad, that bitter wail―
“Almost,” ―but lost!
G.B.
