The Door Will Be Shut

Listen from:
O come now to Jesus,
That dear loving Saviour,
Receive Him this moment,
And peace shall be thine.
Be in time!
While the voice of Jesus calls you,
Be in time!
If in sin you longer wait,
You may find no open gate,
And your cry be “Just too late!”
Be in time!
The time is fast approaching when every person who has not accepted Christ as his Saviour will be found in an awful position. All those who are Christ’s - the sleeping ones raised, the living changed - will soon be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
What a moment that will be for every person left behind. Every soul born of God, every real child of God, will have gone to be with Jesus forever. All who are not His will be left behind. In which company will YOU then be found?
It will be too late to flee: there will be no escape. The door will be shut. Left behind, outside the door, for a fearful, lost eternity! Be warned now. Flee from the wrath to come! Flee to Christ!
Jesus said: He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).)
Faith is not what we see or feel;
It is a simple trust
In what the God of love has said
Of Jesus as the Just.
