THE WAY TO GOD AND HOW TO FIND IT By D. L. MOODY Fleming H. Revell Company Chicago New York Toronto _Publishers of Evangelical Literature_ Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1884, By F. H. REVELL, In the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. TO THE READER In this small volume I have endeavored to point out the Way to God. I have embodied in the little book a considerable part of several addresses which have been delivered in different cities, both of Great Britain and my own country. God has graciously owned them when spoken from the pulpit, and I trust will none the less add his blessing now they have been put into the printed page with additional matter. I have called attention first to the Love of God, the source of all Gifts of Grace; have then endeavored to present truths to meet the special needs of representative classes, answering the question, "How man can be just with God," hoping thereby to lead souls to Him who is "the Way, the Truth and the Life." The last chapter is specially addressed to Backsliders--a class, alas, far too numerous amongst us. With the earnest prayer and hope that by the blessing of God on these pages the reader may be strengthened, established and settled in the faith of Christ, I am, yours in His service, D. L. Moody CONTENTS. Chapter I. "Love that passeth Knowledge" Chapter II. The Gateway into the Kingdom Chapter III. The Two Classes Chapter IV. Words of Counsel Chapter V. A Divine Saviour Chapter VI. Repentance and Restitution Chapter VII. Assurance of Salvation Chapter VIII. Christ All and in All Chapter IX. Backsliding THE WAY TO GOD. CHAPTER I. "_LOVE THAT PASSETH KNOWLEDGE_." "To know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge." (Ephesians iii. 19.) If I could only make men understand the real meaning of the words of the apostle John--"God is love," I would take that single text, and would go up and down the world proclaiming this glorious truth. If you can convince a man that you love him you have won his heart. If we really make people believe that God loves them, how we should find them crowding into the kingdom of heaven! The trouble is that men think God hates them; and so they are all the time running away from Him.
