Rejecters of Christ! Cold, empty professors of religion! Foolish virgins! Here are a few more words to strike fear to your hearts. Think of these words: "And the door was shut." Matt. 25:1010And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. (Matthew 25:10).
What will this world be to you when that door, the door into God's very presence, is shut?
What will be the value to you of this world's riches then? What pleasure will you find in sin then? What will the praise of men and the enticements of Satan be worth to you then?
Think, oh think, dear reader! Think seriously of that coming, solemn hour! When that day shall come, what is there in the wide range of your thoughts and imagination that is worth having, when compared with Christ?
If Satan's world be your choice here, Satan's hell must be your portion hereafter. And remember, the time is short. The door will soon be shut, and shut forever.
Haste, then! Delay not! Forget not! Right now, with your whole heart, flee to Jesus! He is waiting to receive you. He is ready to pardon you. He is willing to save you. He invites you to Him. Do you not hear His voice of love? He says: "Hear, and your soul shall live." Isa. 55:33Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah 55:3).
"Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that He loved
us, and sent His Son to be the
propitiation for our sins.”
"Seek ye the Lord while He may
be found, call ye upon Him while
He is near.”
