A brother in the Lord could never get a young lady to think about eternity until he quoted this text: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." That word forget seemed to haunt her. May it haunt you, dear reader.

One look outward to Jesus and you are saved; not a look inward to a feeling that can give nothing but despair to the conscientious soul.
Take the lost sinner's place, and claim the lost sinner's Saviour.
We will neither have the Romanism on the one side, which tells us of a cross without a Christ, nor the rationalism on the other side, which tells us of a Christ without a cross.
Jesus did ALL the saving-work. He brought the cross to our level. Get saved by looking to Him, and then live to God.
Stand up from among the dead, and patiently work as one waiting for the judgment-seat of Christ.
Virtuous or vile, decent or indecent, rich or poor, receive and rest upon Christ nim. as He is so freely offered you; and then you may believe (not feel) that your sins are in the depths of the sea.
