Two soldiers being off duty were having a heart to heart talk about eternal things. An earnest Christian officer approached them and overhearing some of their remarks, he inquired as to the subject of their conversation.
They answered: "We are counting the cost of accepting Christ." The officer replied: "Have you counted the cost of NOT accepting Christ?”
What a solemn question! And you, if you are lost, have you counted the cost of NOT accepting Christ? The cost is eternal loss. Nay, it is more; it is eternal damnation.
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:3636He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36).
