So you are to _believe_. You are to believe that God _does_ accept you now through Jesus Christ _just because He says_ He accepts and saves those who believe in His Son. You may not receive the evidence of acceptance _at once_ and so you are to hold on by faith till He does give you the evidence of your acceptance, even the witness of His spirit that your sins are forgiven and you made a child of God. You must not let the difficulty of believing without feeling keep you back from believing and you must not let the remembrance of your great sins keep you from believing. Poor, unhappy men, you who are bruised and sore on account of your sins, I beg you cease from your evil ways. Why will you die? "What fearful thing is there in Heaven which makes you flee from that world? What fascinating object in hell, that excites such frenzied exertion to break every band, and overleap every bound, and force your way downward to the chambers of death?" Stop, I beseech you, and repent, and Jesus Christ shall blot out your sins, and remember your transgressions no more. Stop, and the host who follow your steps shall turn, and take hold on the path of life. Stop, and the wide waste of sin shall cease, and the song of the angels shall be heard again, "glory to God in the highest; on earth, peace, good will to men." Stop, and instead of wailing with the lost, you shall join the multitude which no man can number, in the ascription of blessing and honor, and glory, and power, to Him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and forever. The kingdom of God is here to-night. Will you come in? "Come humble sinner in whose breast," etc. Come, angels invite you, we invite you, and, best of all, Christ invites you. O, do not, by your own actions, bar this door forever against your immortal soul. What a fearful thing it will be to wake up in eternity to find this door, which to-day hangs wide open, barred against you and hung with crape. O, how fearful will be those words, too late! too late! All is lost. "Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee, O! Lamb of God I come. "Just as I am, tho' tossed about, With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O! Lamb of God I come." JOHN III: 16 "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."
