He may be certain he is the object of the love of God and the finished work of Christ on his behalf. He may know the way of salvation, and be able to quote scriptures to prove it. He may be almost persuaded to trust the Lord Jesus as his Savior-and yet be lost by neglecting to personally receive the Son of God and own Him as the Lord of his life. Neglect turns a well tilled field into a wilderness. It runs a once profitable business into bankruptcy.
Neglect sinks ships, wrecks trains, automobiles and airplanes.
It results in tremendous losses every year in the way of property and life. It simply consists of letting things alone that should be attended to . This is the unanswerable question, for God's word holds out no hope whatever for that person who dies slighting, rejecting or neg lecting this great salvation. Let this not be true of the reader. Right here and now, own yourself to be what God declares you are, a lost and guilty sinner.
