Dear reader, there are three undeniable facts concerning you. You can no more get rid of them than a bird could fly away from its own wings. What are they?
You have―
A God to meet,
A history to account for,
An eternity to spend.
But stay; this is not all! The God you may so dread to meet in coming judgment is prepared to meet you now in present blessing.
If you come to Him through Christ, He will wipe out every stain from your guilty history, and make you as fit for the highest glory as you are now fit for the lowest hell.
His precious Son has died. His cleansing blood has been shed. In spite of your sinful past your soul may yet -be saved. Oh, what a Savior Jesus is! If you only knew Him, the thought of meeting Him would no longer be your darkest dread but would become your brightest hope.
This may be yours, not because you have any merit, but all on the ground of pure grace. I ask: does it not suit your case?
For surely you have naught to plead, except God's love and your own exceeding need.
Accept, then, this all-gracious Savior. He is ready and able also "to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him.”
"Let everybody see it
That Christ hath set you free;
And, if it sets them longing,
Say, 'Jesus died for thee.'”
"BUT NOW,
IN CHRIST JESUS,
YE WHO SOMETIME
WERE FAR OFF
ARE MADE HIGH
BY THE BLOOD
OF CHRIST.”
“REDEEMED
WITH THE PRECIOUS
BLOOD OF CHRIST."”
1st Peter 1:18, 19.
