Waking along one of the streets of the city of Montreal one day, I handed a gospel tract to a gentleman passing by. The title of the tract was “I Am Not Going to a Christ-less Grave, Are You?” Taking it from me he continued on his way, but as I turned to see if he were reading it, he called to me and said, “I am afraid I am!”
How many people we pass day by day; if they would only admit it, must say the same words. How many there are who pass on to a Christless grave! Did you ever stop to think what this means, dear reader? It means a Christ-less resurrection and a Christless eternity in hell. How solemn! How awful!
God tells us in His Word that “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Rom. 3:2323For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23). Since God is so holy that He must punish every sin, how can anyone escape the judgment of a lost eternity? The answer is this: God’s own beloved Son took the sinner’s place and received from God’s hand the judgment we so richly deserved, in order that those who believe might go free.
Reader, if you wish to be saved now, read John 1:12,12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12) and receive Christ as your Saviour today. It says, “As many as received Him, to them gave He por to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” If you will kneel down in God’s holy presence right now and own yourself a lost, guilty, hell-deserving sinner, and tell God from your heart that you will receive Christ, He will save you at once. You will be cleansed and forgiven, and God will make you one of His children.
