It Is As Natural And Reasonable For

It Is Commonly Said That Men Are Forward To Believe Whatever Is Connected With Their Own Interest. This In Common Cases Is True; But It Is Also True, That When Some Very Great And Unexpected Good News Is Brought To Us, We Find It Very Difficult To Credit It.

God Has Set Before You An Open Door Which No Man Has A Right Or Power To Shut. If You Should Be Shut Out, It Will Be By Your Own Unbelief, And Not For Want Of A Warrant To Come. Enter, Then, Without Delay Or Hesitation. None Can Less Afford To Delay Than The Aged Sinner. Now Is The Time. Now Or Never. You Have, As It Were, One Foot Already In The Grave. Your Opportunities Will Soon Be Over. Strive, Then, I Entreat You, To Enter In At The Strait Gate.

It Will Never Do To Plead Sin As An Excuse For Sin, Or To Attempt To Justify Sinful Acts By Pleading That We Have An Evil Heart. This Instead Of Being A Valid Apology, Is The Very Ground Of Our Condemnation.

It Is As Natural And Reasonable For A Dependent Creature To Apply To Its Creator For What It Needs, As For A Child Thus To Solicit The Aid Of A Parent Who Is Believed To Have The Disposition And Ability To Bestow What It Needs.

All My Theology Is Reduced To This Narrow Compass - "jesus Christ Came Into The World To Save Sinners."
