We had been studying about Noah and had reached Genesis 8 “And God remembered Noah,” &c. After talking a little about God’s remembrance, and what would have been the consequence if God had forgotten him, I said, “Children, is there anything God does not remember?” Most of the class answered in-chorus, “No! No!” but little Ethel, more thoughtful than the rest, said nothing but raised her hand. “What is it Ethel?” I asked. She, answered—”My little verse says”, “THEIR SINS AND INIQUITIES WILL I REMEMBER, NO MORE” Hebrews 10:1717And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 10:17).
How precious! The one thing God can forget, is our sins and iniquities. And why? Because His Blessed Son on the cross satisfied God forever as to the sins of His people.
COME.
Such is the fond entreaty of the Blessed God to all, through this day of grace. God is not merely a Saviour-God. He wants to save. He is just begging souls to come to Him. Dear young reader, nothing that you can do will gratify, or make glad the heart of God, but for you to come to Him. Oh, that you would come to Him this moment! I was told a few minutes ago about a man who came to God and went, about among his neighbors telling them of the wonderful love of God to all, thinking they would all come to Him at once, but many would not come. Still God calls to you and all, “Come.” He calls to you now, because sometime it will be “too late.” Can you refuse such a long invitation when it is for your own good? A number of invitations for you to come, will appear in this paper, if the Lord will. But do not wait for them, bore you come to God. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
“Come to Jesus, come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus, just now;
Just now, come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus, just now.”
