EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.
THE thought of Christendom’s responsibilities is simply crushing. Have you noticed particularly Heb. 2:22For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; (Hebrews 2:2)? “Every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward.” Not, as I take it, that a man’s sins were treated in bulk, but each separate occasion of offense was most minutely scrutinized and accurately weighed with all its attendant circumstances. And when we consider the years upon years of Christian testimony, the preachings in public, the conversations in private, and the secret conviction that is conveyed to men’s consciences by the consistent walk of godly souls, what a terrible indictment is there against the man who continues in his sin. Add to this the fact of most houses having a Bible, containing the whole mind of God, in many cases scores of hymns containing sweet gospel truth, and literature in volumes, any page of which will be sufficient (if truly believed) to save a soul, or (if refused) to damn it; and what avenue of escape is left? “How shall we escape, if we neglect?” To need it and to have no chance of hearing or receiving it is bad enough in heathen countries, but who can measure the guilt of that man who, needing it no less, has opportunities falling thick and fast like snowflakes in winter, and yet neglects them all. “Every... disobedience received a just recompense of reward.” What a day of reckoning is coming! “and they shall not escape.”
