Do Not Say

Do not say you are too old.
Do not say you are too poor. Jesus said, "To the poor the gospel is preached," and we read of many poor people who were saved.
Do not say you are too rich. Zacchaeus was saved, and was rich. (Luke 19:22And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. (Luke 19:2).) Remember that God wishes all men to be saved.
Do not say there is plenty of time yet. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Prov. 27:11Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1).
Do not say you have always done your best, and God will be too merciful to punish you. "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." Isa. 64:66But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6). God is just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Do not say you have not been invited. You have heard the invitation many times.
"Come; for all things are now ready." Luke 14:1717And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. (Luke 14:17). Those invited in Luke 14 all began to make excuse; if you do the same, one day you will stand before the great white throne "speechless," without excuse.
"Come! for angel hosts are musing
O'er this sight so strangely sad:
God beseeching, man refusing
To be made for ever glad!"
