REJECTERS of Christ; cold empty professors; foolish virgins; a few more words and tears for you. Think of these words, “And the door was shut." What will this world be to you when that door is shut? What will be the value of this world's riches then? What pleasure will you find in sin then? What will the applause of men and the flatteries of Satan be worth then? Think, O think, dear reader; think seriously on that coming, solemn hour! Look that day in the face, and tell me, what is there in the wide range of thy thoughts and visions worth having when compared with Christ? If Satan's world be thy choice here, Satan's hell must be thy portion hereafter. And oh, remember the time is short: the door will soon be shut, and shut forever.
Haste, then, O thoughtless, careless sinner; delay not; forget not; but at once, and with thy whole heart, flee to Jesus. He is waiting to receive thee; ready to pardon thee; willing to save thee. He invites thee to come to Himself; hear then His voice of love—"Hear, and your soul shall live" (Isa. 4:1-31And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. 2In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 3And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: (Isaiah 4:1‑3)).
