Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5:40
OH 5:40{So long as you are not willing, i.e., not actually and actively willing to come (for that is the meaning of the original), of course you cannot come. And without coming to Jesus you cannot have life. And if you do not have life, there is nothing but death for you—the second death with all its unknown terrors, into the realities of which any moment may plunge you. Your not believing this makes no difference as to the fact. Your doubting it makes no difference to its certainty. I assert it on the authority of the Word of God. "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death... therefore choose life" (Deut. 30:19). For in not willing life, you are willing death, and "why will ye die?”
You could not do without Him, if once He made you see
The fetters that enchain you, till He hath set you free.
If once you saw the fearful load of sin upon your soul—
The hidden plague that ends in death, unless He makes you whole!
What will you do without Him, when death is drawing near?
Without His love—the only love that casts out every fear;
When the shadow-valley opens, unlighted and unknown.
And the terrors of its darkness must be all passed alone!
