God created the world and formed it for us to dwell on, with seas, lakes, rivers, plains, mountains,—such a variety of scenery, and we do enjoy seeing them. We can truly say,
“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy Name in all the earth! who hast set Thy glory above the heavens,” Ps. 8:1.
But God has given us another gift far exceeding all these beautiful scenes. These would not save our sinful souls. It needed a Holy Sinless One to bear the judgment of God against our many sins.
“The wages of sin is death,” so He gave His only, beloved Son to die instead of us, and bear the judgment of our sins on the cross, and if we take Him as our Saviour, there will be no judgment from God for us.
If you do not know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, you must not put off coming to Him, trust Him as yours. There is no time to lose, for He is coming very soon to take all those who believe on Him to live with Him forever. Then the door of salvation will be closed on you.
