AUGUST 31
COME, OR YOU MUST PERISH.
"Neither is there salvation in any other;
for there is none other name under Heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved."
He who made must save, and
as all things
were made by him,
so all who are saved must be saved by him.
The watchmaker must repair the watch.
The sculptor must repair the statue.
The painter must restore the picture.
So Jesus must save the soul.
This is "the work "the Father has given him
to do — to "bind up the
brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the
prison to those who are bound."
His blood alone can cleanse.
His righteousness alone can justify.
His Spirit alone can sanctify.
His Word alone can direct.
Jesus can save anyone;
but out of Jesus,
there is salvation for no one.
Reject his
atonement, and there
remains no more sacrifice for sin.
Resist his Spirit, and
there is
no purification for your depraved nature.
You are shut up to Jesus
alone.
He can save, and he alone.
Out of Christ, all is danger.
He is the one ark amidst the deluge.
He is the only city of refuge
where the man-slayer is safe.
He is the only house where
the weary soul will find rest.
All out of the ark of Noah perished
in the waters of the flood;
so all out of
Christ,
will be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the
Lord,
and from the glory of his power.
Come, O come then, to Jesus!
He will
receive and shelter you.
He will protect and preserve you.
He "will save
and lift you up for ever."
Receive Christ, and you are made for ever.
Reject Christ, and you are ruined to
all eternity!
"He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life,
he that believeth not the Son, shall not see
life;
BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM."
THE WRATH OF GOD!
THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDING ON THE SOUL!
What, O what can that be?
"he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name
of the only begotten Son of God.
