HOW disagreeable some medicines are to the taste, but sometimes such go to the right spot, and bring about what is needed. The little child fights against what both the parents and doctor believe is best for it. He knows he is sick, but does not want the remedy. You say the poor child does not know any better, so against his will the doctor puts the medicine down his throat.
This is just the way a great many people do about salvation. They do not want it, and they fight against it, and want to blame God for having a hell for them, when there is not the first bit of reason they should go there, for God has provided the remedy.
The Lord Jesus Christ is God’s beloved Son, the dearest object of God’s heart, and God, in His love for lost men, women and children, gave that dear Son of His to die for such, so that they need not go to hell. Christ, therefore, is the remedy God has provided. All ought to be very thankful for God’s Son, and accept Him as the only remedy—the only Saviour.
If any person is lost, and thus goes to hell, it will be his own fault.
How is it with you, dear children? Have you accepted Him or are you rejecting Him? If you have not accepted Him yet, do so now.
