THE year 1911 has passed away and our records for that time are closed. Some of our readers have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour; but we fear that many have turned the deaf ear to His loving call, and many who began with us have passed from time into eternity and for them their life’s record is closed. They are either saved or lost.
Dear reader, how would it have been with you if you had passed away? Would you have been with Christ, (Phil. 1:23) or would you have been in torments? (Luke 16:23). If you are yet without Christ as your Saviour begin this new year with Him and be God’s guest. His house is filling, fast and He invites you for He will have His house, filled with poor sinners from this earth, and the blessed word is “Yet there is room.” Soon the door will be closed, and that word will no, more be given, and the invitation “Come for all things are now ready” will be no more offered to you.
God wants you to be His guest now. He has spread His table with every bounty love could furnish, and gives you this blessed invitation.
To you I would repeat “Yet there is room.” If you have closed the past year a stranger to Jesus and His blessed salvation do not go on through this year without Him. Come to Jesus now. All you have to do is to simply cast yourself upon Him. He has died and risen again. The work of atonement is accomplished. God’s holy claims are all met. The question of sin has been forever settled on the cross. There He “who knew no sin, was made sin.” Can you say, “For me?” You may, if you will but trust Him.
Had you anything to do you might put it off until you felt more able but when all is finished and all ready, the only thing for you to do is to come and make good to yourself by faith what love provides for your present and eternal blessing.
Oh, do not spurn the gracious invitation to a full and free salvation provided by God for poor sinners at an expense to Him of the death of His Son.
Once more, “Yet there is room.” Oh, be persuaded. The Saviour says “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” “Some guest will be the last” has been well said and then the closed door will answer the careless and indifferent ones
NO ROOM!
