Is God Able?

IS God able to save me?” was the question of one who was manifestly in the power of the great enemy. “Yes,” I answered, “God is able to save you. That is a settled matter. But the question is, Are you willing to be saved?” This set things in a new light, and my enquirer had to look into himself for an answer to the question, Why was he not saved? Now, unsaved reader, God is willing you should be saved, so willing that He has given His Son; that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)). He is so willing that you should be saved, that He has imposed no hard conditions; He has fixed no price to be paid; He has appointed no tine during which you must wait. You are invited to make the gift of eternal life yours, and the only condition is that you receive it. You are not asked to come although you are a sinner, but because you are a sinner, for it was to save the “lost” that Jesus came. You ask when may this gift be yours. God answers, Now. “Come now,” He says (Isaiah 1:1818Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18)). “Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace” (Job 22:2121Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. (Job 22:21)). “Behold, now is the accepted time.”
Oh, tell it unto all around,
Jesus died,
‘Tis such a precious, blessed, sound
Jesus died.
Entreat dear children to rely
On that which brings the guilty nigh;
E’en to the blood of Christ to fly;
Jesus died.
Soon heaven shall raise the happy song,
Jesus died.
Which endless ages shall ‘prolong,
Jesus died.
fly virtue of that precious blood
Believers are brought nigh to God;
Oh, spread the glorious news abroad—
Jesus died.
