You are complaining you don't _feel_ better. Well, remember, the child must be born before it can be taught. So we cannot learn of God until we receive Him. We must be born--born again--_i.e._ the new birth, ere we can feel. Christ must be in us the hope of glory. How can He be in us if we don't receive Him and trust Him? PRESENT SALVATION. Another verse that has been used a great deal during the past two years, and I feel that I rest my own salvation on it, is John v. 24. I trust God will write it on your hearts, and burn it down into your souls. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, _hath_ everlasting life." Thank God for that "hath." I had a few men in the inquiry-room the other night who could not find peace. I said, "Do you believe the Bible?" "Yes, sir." "I think I will prove you don't. Turn up John v. 24." They turned it up. "Read the verse." "'He that heareth My Word--'" "You believe that?" "Yes, sir." "'And believeth on Him that sent me--'" "You believe God sent Jesus?" "Yes." "Well, read on." "'Hath everlasting life.'" "You believe you _have_ everlasting life?" "No, we don't." "Oh, I thought you didn't believe in the Bible!" What right have you to cut a verse in two, and say you believe the one half, but not the other? It plainly says, that he who believes "hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." Why, if you believe God's words, you can say, "I have passed from darkness into light." Just by resting on that one little word in the present tense we may have "assurance" now. We don't need to wait till we die, and till the great day of judgment, to find it out. "TAKE, TAKE!" A lady in Glasgow came to me, and said, "Mr. Moody, you are always saying 'Take, take!' Is there any place in the Bible where it says 'Take,' or is it only a word you use? I have been looking in the Bible for it, but cannot see it." "Why," I said, "the Bible is sealed with it; it is almost the last word in the Bible. 'And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him _take_ the water of life freely.'" "Well," she said, "I never saw that before. Is that all I have to do?" "Yes, the Bible says so." And she took it, just there. God says, "Let him take"; who can stop us if God says it? All the devils in hell cannot hinder a poor soul from taking, if God says "Take." My friends, are you going to "Take" to-night? Are you going to let these precious meetings pass without getting Christ--without being able to look up and say, "Christ is my Saviour, God is my Father, heaven is my home"? AN ANXIOUS INQUIRER.
