1. Is it because I am afraid of ridicule, and of what others may say of me? "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed." Mark 8:3838Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (Mark 8:38).
2. Is it because of the inconsistencies of professing Christians? "Every one of us Shall give an account of himself to God." nom. 14:12.
3. Is it because I am not Willing to give tip all to Christ? "What shall it profit O Man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:3636For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36).
4. Is it because I am afraid that I shall not be accepted? "Him that cometh to Me I will in no 'Wise cast ode" John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).
6. Is it because I am afraid I shall not "hold out"? "He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him." Heb. 7:2525Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25).
7. Is it, because I am thinking that I will do as well as I, can; and that. God will be satisfied with that? "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:1010For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (James 2:10).
8. Is it because I am postponing the matter without any definite reason? "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Prov. 27:11Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1).
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in 'Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
"He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”
