About This Product
And now, my reader, what of your case? If God this night were to require your soul of you; to call upon you for an answer for a lifetime of sin, could you meet such a demand? You know that you could not. Like Job, you could not answer Him, "One of a thousand," Job 9:3. To stand upon your own merit would be to be eternally lost. "Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord," said David, "for in thy sight shall no man living be justified," Psa. 143:2. But if, as a poor repentant one, you turn to Christ for salvation, there will be joy in the presence of the angels of God about you. God is gratified in beholding the feeblest longings for Christ in you, and He is satisfied with the finished work of Christ for you.
But I solemnly warn you, that if you persist in evading this vital question, and content yourself with the thought of mere moral reformation, either now or at a future time, then be sure of this, that the time is rapidly approaching when, as surely as that Lincolnshire laborer was pulled up, face to face with God's righteous demands, so will you be. He was arrested in time; take heed that your awakening does not come in Eternity! Consider well, I entreat you, the solemn sequel of such a waking up; and before you lay down this book, bow to God's righteous claims; thankfully accept His gracious provision; trust in the precious blood of Christ; and then you will be able, with another, to record thus your happy, thrice happy, experience:—
' Sweetest rest and peace have filled me,
Sweeter praise than tongue can tell;
God is satisfied with Jesus,
I am satisfied as well.'
