Do not say you are too young to be saved; Jesus said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me.” (Luke 17:1616And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. (Luke 17:16).)
Do not say you are too poor. Jesus said, “To the poor the gospel is preached,” and we read of many poor people who were saved.
Do not say you are too rich. Zacchaeus was saved, and was rich. (Luke 19:22And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. (Luke 19:2).) Remember that God wishes all men to be saved.
Do not say there is plenty of time yet. “Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”
Do not say you have always done your best, and God will be too merciful to punish you. “All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” (Isa. 64:66But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6).) God is just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Do not say you have not been invited. You have heard the invitation many times.
“Come; for all things are now ready.” Those invited in Luke 14 all began to make excuse; if you do the same, one day you will stand before the great white throne “speechless,” without excuse.
“Come! for angel hosts are musing
O’er this sight so strangely sad:
God beseeching, man refusing
To be made for ever glad!”
