COME, FOR ETERNITY URGES YOU.

 
AUGUST 30


COME, FOR ETERNITY URGES YOU.
 
"The things that are not seen are eternal."
                       2 Corinthians 4:8.
 
There is an eternal Hell.

A place of never ending punishment. 

There the light of God's countenance never shines;
  The voice of mercy is never heard;
  The throbbings of hope are never felt;
  All is darkness, despair, and death!
 
The horrors of that place can never be described. 

The agonies of the lost are unutterable -- inconceivable;
   especially of those who reject the gospel 
     and perish in the light of truth.

"He that believeth not shall be damned." 

He is condemned already, 
  because he has not believed. 

There is no escaping Hell, but by coming to Jesus. 

He is the only refuge from the wrath to come.

There is an eternal Heaven.

A place of everlasting happiness and joy. 

There God dwells in glory. 
  There Jesus reigns in love. 
  The joys of Heaven are unspeakable. 
  The glory of Heaven is inconceivable. 

There the saints are at home with God. 
There every believer will be forever holy and happy. 

"He that believeth shall be saved." 

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and THOU shall be saved."
 
Reader!
  by the agonies of Hell,
  by the terrors, torments,
  and despair of the damned,
  let me urge you to come to Jesus!
 
You must come to Jesus, or 
  be lost forever; 
    there is no alternative. 

You need not perish; 
   but you must come to Jesus,
     if you would escape it.
 
By the glories of Heaven, 
  by the happiness of the saved,
  let me exhort you to come to Jesus. 

You may be eternally happy, 
  but you must come to Jesus if you would;
  for there is no admission to Heaven but through him.
 
Eternity! 

Eternity, 
   with all its joys and with all its terrors,
   urges you to flee to Jesus! 

He is able, he is willing, 
  to save you from an eternal Hell! 

He is able, he is willing, 
  to raise and introduce you 
    to a glorious Heaven!
 
If thou canst believe, all things are 
   possible to him that believeth. 
                             Mark 9:23


 James Smith 1855
