TRACTS everywhere!” said a young man, with a sneer, as a young Christian boy handed him a tract one Lord’s day afternoon.
“No,” said the boy quietly, “there will be none in hell,” and passed on. God fastened that single sentence as a nail in a sure place, and he could not get rid of it.
“None in hell!” seemed to echo in his ears every time he saw a tract, and soon after that he was converted.
Dear reader, there will be no tracts in hell—neither gospel invitation, nor gospel entreaties.
How eagerly the lost multitudes, in the hopeless region of despair, would welcome the first invitation of mercy; but their day is past, their time of grace is over.
They will remember how many times, while here on earth, they heard of the wondrous love of God in the gift of His Son, and through Him salvation was offered to them; but instead of gladly accepting Him as their Saviour and receiving rest and peace for their souls, and all eternal blessings in Him for eternity, they turned away and refused God’s love and mercy. Many invitations were offered to them while they were on earth, but there are “None in hell!”
How are you, my dear friends, treating these golden opportunities, solemn warnings, and loving invitations, such as, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life;” (Jno. 3:16). “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest;” (Matt. 11:28.) “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out,” (John 6:37,) etc. etc.
Accept these invitations speedily, while you have the opportunity, for O, remember, there will be “NONE IN HELL!”
But if you will not heed, your doom is fixed — “Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out My hand, and no man regarded:
“But ye have set at naught all My counsel, and would none of My reproof:
“I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh:
“When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you:” Prov. 1:24-27.
“THEN SHALL THEY CALL UPON ME, BUT I WILL NOT ANSWER; THEY SHALL SEEK ME EARLY, BUT THEY SHALL NOT FIND ME.” Prov. 1:28.
