0:01 the Lord is speaking in Jeremiah 8 and verse 6 I hearkened and heard but they spake not a right no man repented him of his wickedness saying what have I done everyone turned to his course as the horse rushthe and verse 6 a sermon delivered on Lord's Day morning December mber the 27th 1857 by CH Spurgeon perhaps no figure represents God in a more gracious light than those figures of speech which represent him as stooping from his throne and as coming down from heaven to attend to the wants
0:48 and to behold the woes of mankind we must have love for that God who when Sodom and Gomorrah were wreaking with iniquity would not destroy those cities although he knew their guilt and their wickedness until he had made an actual visitation to them and had sojourned for a while in their streets me thinks we cannot help pouring out our heart in affection to that God of whom we are told that he inclines his ear from the highest glory and puts it to the lip of the faintest that breathes out the true desire how can we resist feeling that he is a god whom we must love when we know that he regards everything that concerns
1:33 us numbers the very hairs of our heads bids his angels protect our footsteps lest we Dash our feet against Stones marks our path and ordereth our ways but especially is this great truth brought near to man's heart when we recollect how attentive God is Not merely to the temporal interests of his creatures but to their spiritual concerns God is represented in scripture as waiting to be gracious or in the language of the parable when his prodigals are yet a great way off he sees them he runs and falls upon their neck and kisses them he is so attentive to everything that is good even in the
2:21 poor Sinner's heart that to him there is music in a sigh and Beauty in a tear and in this verse that I've just read he represents himself as looking upon man's heart and listening listening if possibly he may hear something that is good I hearkened and heard I listened I Stood Still and I attended to them and how amiable does God appear when he is represented as turning aside and as it were with grief in his heart exclaiming I did listen I did hearken but they spake not a right no man repented of his wickedness saying what shall I do oh my
3:08 hearer thou never Hast a desire towards God which does not excite God's hope thou Dost never breathe a prayer towards heaven which he does not notice and though thou Hast very often uttered prayers which have been as the morning cloud and as the early Dee that soon passeth away yet all these things have stirred Jehovah's compassion for he has been hearkening to thy cry and noticing the breathing of thy soul and though it all hath passed away yet it did not pass away unnoticed for he remembers it even now and oh thou that art this day seeking a savior remember that savior's eyes are on thy seeking soul today Thou
3:55 Art not looking after one who cannot see thee Thou Art coming to thy father but thy father sees thee even in the distance it was but one tear that trickled down thy cheek but thy father noticed that as a hopeful sign it was but one throb that went through thy heart just now during the singing of the hymn but God the loving noticed even that and thought upon it as at least some Omen that thou was not yet quite hardened by sin nor yet given up by love and mercy the text is what have I done I shall just introduce that by a few words of affectionate persuasion urging all now present to ask that
4:43 question secondly I shall give them a few words of assistance in trying to answer it and when I have so done I shall finish by a few sentences of solemn admonition to those who have had to answer the question against themselves first then a few words of earnest persuasion requesting everyone now present and more especially every unconverted person to ask this question of himself and answer it solemnly what have I done few men like to take the trouble to review their own lives most men are so near bankruptcy that they are ashamed to look at their own books the great mass of mankind are like the silly ostrich
5:29 which when hard pressed by the hunters buries its head in the sand and shuts its eyes and then thinks because it does not see its pursuers that therefore it is safe the great mass of mankind I repeat are ashamed to review their own biographies and if conscience and memory together could turn joint authors of a history of their lives throughout they would buy a huge iron clasp and a padlock to it and lock the volume up for they dare not read it they know it to be a book full of lamentation and woe which they dare not read and still go on in their iniquities I have therefore a hard task in endeavoring to persuade you one and
6:17 all to take down that book and be its Pages few or many be they white or be they black I have some difficulty in getting you to read them through but may the Holy Spirit persuade you now so that you may answer this question what have I done for remember my dear friend that searching yourself can do you no hurt no Tradesman ever gets the poorer by looking to his books he may find himself to be poorer than he thought he was but it is not the looking to the books that ha hurt him he hath hurt himself by some ill trading before better my friend for you to know the past whilst there is yet time for
7:02 repairing it then that you should go blindfolded hoping to enter the gates of paradise and find out your mistake when alas it is too late because the door is shut there is nothing to be lost by taking stock you cannot be any the worse for a little self-examination this of itself shall be one strong argument to induce you to do it but remember you may be a great deal the better for suppose your Affairs are all right with God why then you may make good cheer and comfort yourself for he that is right with his God has no cause to be sad but are remember there are many probabilities that you are
7:48 wrong there are so many in this world that are deceived that there are many chances that you are deceived too you may have a name to live and yet be dead you may be like John banan's tree of which he said to was fair to look upon and green outside but the inside of it was rotten enough to be Tinder for the devil's Tinder Box you may this day thus stand before yourself and fellow creatures well whitewashed and exceeding fair but you may be like that Pharisee of whom Christ said thou art a Whited Seiler for inwardly thou full of rottenness and dead men's bones now man however thou mayest wish
8:36 to be self deceived for my own part I feel that I would a thousand times rather know my own State really than have the most pleasing conceptions about it and find myself deceived many a time I have solemnly prayed that prayer Lord help me to know the worst of my own case if I be still an aost at from thee without God and without Christ at least let me be honest to myself and know what I am remember my friend that the time you have for self-examination is after all very short soon thou will know the great secret I perhaps may not say words rough
9:21 enough to Rend off the mask which now thou Hast upon thee but there is one called Death who will stand no compliment you may masquerade it out today in the dress of the saint but death will soon strip you and you must stand before the Judgment seat after death has discovered you in all your nakedness be that naked innocence or naked guilt remember too though you may deceive yourself you will not deceive your God you may have light weights and the beam of the scale in which you weigh yourself may not be honest and may not therefore tell the truth but when God shall try you he will
10:08 make no allowances when the Everlasting Jehovah grasps the balances of justice and puts his law into one scale ah sinner how Willl thou tremble when he shall put thee into the other for unless Christ be thy Christ th will be found lightweight thou will be waight in the balances and found wanting and be Cast Away forever oh what word shall I adopt to induce every one of you now to search yourselves I know the various excuses that some of you will make some of you will plead that you are members of churches and that therefore all is right with you perhaps you look across from the gallery and you say to me Spurgeon your
10:54 hands baptized me but this year into the Lord Jesus and you have offered and pass to me the sacramental Bread and Wine ah my hearer I know that and I have baptized I fear many of you that the Lord hath never baptized and some of you have been received into the Church Fellowship on Earth who were never received by God if Jesus Christ had one hypocrite in his 12 how many Hypocrites must I have here in nearly 1200 oh my hero in this age it is a very easy thing to make a profession of religion many churches receive candidates into their Fellowship without examination at all I have had such come
11:40 to me and I have told them I must treat you just the same as if you came from the world because they said I never saw a minister I wrote a note to the church and they took me in verily in this age of profession a man may make the highest profession in the world and yet be at last found with damned apostates do not put off the question for that and do not say I'm too busy to attend to my spiritual concerns there is time enough yet many have said that and before their time enough has come they have found themselves where time shall be no more oh thou that sayest thou Hast time enough how little Dost thou know how near death is to thee there is some
12:27 present that will not see New Year's Day there is every probability that a very large number will never see another year oh may the Lord Our God prepare us each for death and for judgment and bless this morning's exaltation to our preparation by Leading us to ask the question what have I done now then I am to help you answer the question what have I done Christian true Christian I have little to say to thee this morning I will not multiply words but leave the inquiry with thine own conscience what hast thou done I hear thee reply I have done nothing to save myself for that was done for me in the Eternal Covenant from before the
13:13 foundation of the world I've done nothing to make a righteousness for myself for Christ said it is finished I've done nothing to procure Heaven by my merits for all that Jesus did for me before I was born but say brother what hast thou done for him who died to save thy wretched Soul what hast thou done for his church what has thou done for the Salvation of the world what has thou done to promote thine own spiritual growth in Grace ah I might hit some of you that are true Christians very hard here but I will leave you with your God God will chastise his own children I will however put appointed
13:59 question are there not many Christians now present who cannot recollect that they have been the means of the Salvation of one Soul during this year come now turn back have you any reason to believe that directly or indirectly you've been made the means this year for the Salvation of a soul I will go further there are some of you who are old Christians and I will ask you this question have you any reason to believe that ever since you were converted you have ever been the means of the Salvation of a soul it was reckoned in the past in the times of the Patriarchs to be a disgrace to a woman that she had no children but what disgrace it is to a Christian to
14:46 have no spiritual children to have none born unto God by his instrumentality and yet there are some of you here that have been spiritually Barren and have never brought one convert to Christ you have not one star in your Crown of Glory and must wear a starless crown in heaven oh I think I see the joy and gladness with which a good child of God looked upon me last week when we had heard someone who had been converted to God by her instrumentality I took her by the hand and said well now you have reason to thank God yes sir she said I feel a happy and an honored woman now I have never that I know of before been the
15:33 means of bringing a soul to Christ and the good woman looked so happy the tears were in her eyes for gladness how many have you brought during this year come Christian what have you done alas alas you have not been barren fig trees but still your fruit is such that it cannot be seen you may be alive unto God but how many of you have been very unprofitable and exceedingly unfruitful and do not think that while I thus deal hardly with you I would escape myself no I ask myself the question what have I done and when I think of the Zeal of witfield and of the earnestness of many of those great evangelists of
16:18 former times I stand Here astounded at myself and I ask myself the question what have I done and I can only answer it with some confusion of face how often have I preached to you my hearers the word of God and yet how seldom have I wept over you as a pastor should how often ought I to have warned you of the wroth to come when I have forgotten to be so Earnest as I might have been I fear lest the blood of souls should lie at my door when I shall come to be judged of my God At Last I beseech you pray for your ministry in this thing that he may be forgiven if there has ever been a lack of
17:04 earnestness and energy and prayerfulness and pray that during the next year I may always preach as though I never might preach again as a dying man to dying men I heard the moralist whilst I was questioning the Christian say what have I done sir I have done all I ought to have done you may as a gospel stand there and talk to me about sins but I can tell you sir I have done all that was my duty I always attended my church or Chapel regularly every Sunday as every man or woman should I have always read prayers in the family and I always say prayers before I go to bed and when I get up in the morning I don't know that I owe anybody anything or that I have been
17:52 unkind to anybody I give a fair share to the poor and I think if good works have any Merit it I certainly have done a great deal quite right my friend very right indeed if good works have any Merit but then it is very unfortunate that they have not any for our good works if we do them to save ourselves by them are no better than our sins you might as well hope to Go to Heaven by cursing and swearing as by the merits of your own good works for although good works are infinitely preferable to cursing and swearing in a moral point of view yet there is no more Merit in one than there is in the other though there is less sin
18:38 in one than in the other will you please to remember then that all you have been doing all these years is good for nothing well but sir I have trusted in Christ now stop let me ask you a question do you mean to say that you have trusted partly in Christ and partly in your own good works yes sir well then let me tell you the Lord Jesus Christ will never be a make weight you must take Christ holy or else no Christ at all for Christ will never go halves with you in the work of Salvation so I repeat all you have ever done is good for nothing You' have been building a card house and the Tempest
19:24 will blow it down you have been building a house upon the sand and when the rains descend and the floods come the last vestage of it will be swept away forever hear you the word of the Lord by The Works of the law shall no flesh living be justified cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them and in as much as you have not continued in all things that are written in the law you are transgressors of the law and you are under the curse and all that the law has to say to you is cursed cursed cursed your morality is of no help to you whatever as to Eternal things I turn to another character he
20:11 says well I don't trust in my morality or anything else I say be gone dull care I pray thee be gone from me I have nothing to do with talking about eternity as you would have me but sir I'm not a bad fellow after all it is a very little that I never do a Miss now and then a padillo just a little Folly but neither my country nor my friends nor my own conscience can say anything against me true I'm none of your Saints I don't profess to be too strict I may go a little too far sometimes but it is only a little and I dare say we shall be able to set all matters straight before the end comes well friend but I wish you had
20:58 asked yourself the question what have I done it strikes me that if each of you would just take off that film that films your heart and your life over you might see a grievous leprosy lurking behind what you have done well for the matter of that says one perhaps I may have taken a glass or two too much sometimes stop a bit what is the name of that stutter as much as you like out with it what is the name of it why it is just a little merth sir stop let us have the right name of it what do you call it in anyone else drunkenness I suppose says another I've been a little loose in my talk sometimes
21:44 what is that it has been just a merry spree yes but please to call it what it ought to be called lascivious conversation write that down oh no sir things are looking ser serious yes they are indeed but they do not look any more serious than they really are sometimes you've been out on the Sabbath day haven't you oh yes but that has been only now and then just sometimes yes but let us put it down what it is and we will see what the list comes to Sabbath breaking stop you say I have gone no further sir certainly I've gone no further I suppose in your conversation sometime during your life you have
22:31 quoted texts of scripture to make jokes of them haven't you and sometimes you have cried out when you have been a little surprised Lord have mercy upon me and such things I don't venture to say you swear though there is a Christian way of swearing that some people get into and they think it is not quite swearing but what it is beside nobody knows and so we will put it down as swearing Cur cursing and swearing oh sir it was only when somebody Trot on my toes or I was angry never mind Put it Down By Its Right name we shall get a pretty good list against you by and by I suppose that in trade you never adulterate your
23:18 articles well that is a matter of business in which you ought not to interfere well it so happens I'm going to interfere and if you please we will call it by its right name stealing we will put that down I suppose you have never been hard with a deta have you you have never at any time wished that you were richer and sometimes half wished that your opposite neighbor would lose part of his custom so that you might have it well we will call it by its right name that is covetousness which is idolatry now the list seems to be getting black indeed besides that how have you spent all this year and though you have pretended sometimes to
24:03 say prayers have you ever really prayed no you have not well then there is prayerlessness to put down you have sometimes read the Bible you have sometimes listen to the ministry but have you not after all let all these things pass away then I want to know whether that is not despising God and whether we must not put it down under that name truly we need go but very little further for the list already when summed up is most fearful and few of us can escape from sins so great as these if our conscience be but a little awake but there is one man here who has grown very careless and indifferent to every point of morality and he says Ah
24:50 young man I could tell you what I have done during the year stop sir I don't particularly wish to know just now you may as well tell it to yourself when you get home there are young people here it would not do them much good to know what you have done perhaps you are no better than you should be some people say which means you are so bad they would not like to say what you are do you suppose in all this congregation we have no debor men none that indulge in the viest Sin and lust why God's angel seems even now to be flying through our midst and touching touching the conscience of some to let them know in what iniquities they have indulged during the year I pray God that my just simply
25:37 alluding to them may be the means of startling your conscience ah you may hide your sins the covet of Darkness may be your shelter you may think they shall never be discovered but remember every sin that you have done shall be read before the sun and men and angels shall hear it in the day of final account ah my hearer be thou moral or be thou dissolute I beseech thee answer this question solemnly today what have I done it would be as well if you took a piece of paper when you went home and just wrote down what you have done from last January to December and if some of you do not get frightened at it I must say you have got
26:23 pretty strong nerves and are not likely to be frightened at much yet now I especially address myself to the unconverted man and I would help him to answer this question in another point of view what have I done ah man thou that livest in sin thou that art a lover of pleasure more than a lover of God what hast thou done does thou know that one sin is Enough To Dam a soul forever hast thou never read in Holy Scripture that cursed is he that sins but once how damned then art thou by the Myriad sins of this one year recall I beseech Thee the sins of thy Youth and thy former transgressions up till now and if
27:11 one sin would ruin thee forever how ruined art thou now why man one wave of sin May swamp thee what will these oceans of thy guilt do one witness against thee will be enough to condemn thee behold the C crows of Foles and of crimes now gathered around the Judgment seat that have gone before thee into judgment how Willl thou escape from their testimonies when God shall call thee to his bar what hast thou done come man answer this question there are many consequences involved in thy sin and in order to answer this question rightly thou must reply to every consequence what hast thou done to thine own soul why thou
27:56 Hast destroyed it thou has done thy best to ruin it forever for thine own poor soul thou has been digging dungeons thou has been piling thou has been forging chains of iron with which to burn it and Fetters with which to bind it forever remember thy sins are like sewing for a harvest what a harvest is that which thou has sown for thy poor soul thou has sown the wind Thou shalt reap the Whirlwind thou Hast sown iniquity Thou shalt reap damnation but what has thou done against the gospel remember how many times this year thou Hast heard it preached why
28:42 since thy birth there have been wagon loads of sermons wasted on thee thy parents prayed for thee in thy youth thy friends instructed thee till thou did come to manhood since then how many a tear has been wept by the minister for thee how many an Earnest appeal has been shot into thine heart but thou H has rent out the arrow ministers have been concerned to save thee and thou has never been concerned about thyself what hast thou done against Christ remember Christ has been a good Christ to Sinners here but as there is nothing that burns so well as that soft substance oil so there is nothing that will be so Furious as that
29:28 gentle-hearted savior when he comes to be your judge fiercer than a lion on his prey is rejected love despise Christ on the cross and it will be a terrible thing to be judged by Christ on his throne but again what have you done for your children this year oh there be some here present that have been doing all they could to ruin their children's Souls is is Solemn what responsibility rests upon a father and what shall be said of a drunken father the father that sets his children an example of drunkenness swear what have you done for your family haven't you been twisting the Rope for their Eternal destruction will they not be sure to do
30:14 as you do mother you have several children but this year you have never prayed for one of them never put your arms around their necks as they kneeled at their little chair at night and said Our Father you have never told them of Jesus that loved children and once became a child like them ah then you too have neglected your children I remember a mother who was converted to God in her old age and she said to me and I shall never forget the woman's grief God has forgiven me but I shall never forgive myself for sir she said I have nourished and brought up children but I've done it without any respect to
31:00 religion and then she burst into tears and said I've been a cruel mother sir I've been a wretch why said I my good woman you have brought your children up yes said she my husband died when they were young and left me with six of them and these hands have earned their bread and found them clothes no one she said Can accuse me of being unkind to them in anything but this but this is is the worst of all I've been a cruel mother to them for while I fed their bodies I neglected their souls but some have gone further than this ah young man you have not only done your best this year to damn yourself but
31:45 you have done your best to damn others remember last January when you took that young man into the tavern for the first time and laughed at all his boyish Scruples as you called them and told him to drink away as you did remember when in the darkness of night you first led astray one young man whose principles were virtuous and who had not known lust unless you had revealed it to him you said at the time come with me I'll show you London life I'll let you see pleasure that young man when he first came to your shop used to go to the house of God on Sunday and seemed to bid fair for heaven ah you said I have laughed religion out of Jackson
32:31 he doesn't go anywhere on a Sunday now except for a spree and he is just as merry as any of us ah sir and you will have two Hells when you are damned you will have your own hell and his too for he will look through the lurid Flames upon you and say mayap I had never been here if you had not brought me here and our sedu us sir what eyes will be those that will glare at you through hell's horror the eyes of one whom you led into iniquity what double Hells they will be to you as they glare on you like two stars whose light is Fury and wither your blood forever pause ye that have led others
33:18 astray and tremble now I paused myself and prayed to God when first I knew a savior that he would help me to lead those to Christ that I had ever in any way LED astray and I remember George Whitfield says when he began to pray his first prayer was that God would convert those with whom he used to play at cards and waste his Sundays and blessed be God he says I got every one of them oh my God can I not detect in some face here astonishment and Terror do no man's knees not together do no man's heart Quail within him because of his iniquity surely it cannot be so else
34:05 were your hearts turn to steel and your bowels become as iron in the midst of you surely if it be so the words of God are most certainly true wherein he saith in the seventh verse of this chapter the stalk in the heaven knoweth her appointed times and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming but my people know not the Judgment of the Lord and certainly that Prophet was true who said the ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib but my people do not know Israel doth not consider oh are you so brutish as to let the reflections of that guilt pass over
34:50 you without causing astonishment and Terror then surely we who feel our guilt have need to bend our knees for you and pray that God might yet bring you to know yourselves for living and dying as you are hardened and without hope your lot must be horrible in the extreme how happy should I be if I might hope that the great mass of you could accompany me in this humble confession of our faith may I speak as if I was speaking for each one of you it shall be at your option either to accept what I say or to reject it but I trust the great multitude of you will follow me oh Lord I this morning confess that my sins
35:39 are greater than I can bear I have deserved thy hottest wroth and thine infinite displeasure and I hardly dare to hope that thou canst have mercy upon me but in as much as thou did give thy son to die upon the cross for sinners thou Hast also said look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the Earth Lord I Look To Thee this morning though I never looked before yet I look now though I have been a slave of sin to this moment yet Lord accept me sinner though I be through the blood and righteousness of thy son Jesus Christ oh Father frown not on me th th
36:27 mayest well do so but I plead that promise which says whosoever cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out Lord I Come Just As I Am Without One Plea but that thy blood was shed for me and that thou bidst me come to thee Oh Lamb of God I come my faith doth lay its hand on that dear head of thine while like a penitent I stand and there confess my sin Lord accept me Lord pardon me and take me as I am from this time forth and forever to be thy servant whilst I live to be thy redeemed when I
37:13 die can you say that did not many a heart say it did I not hear many a lip in silence utter it be of good cheer my brother my sister if that came from your heart you are as safe as the angels of heaven for you are a child of God and you shall never perish now I have to address a few words of affectionate admonition and then I have done it is a very solemn thing to think how years roll away I never spent a shorter year in my life than this one and the older I grow the shorter the years get and you old men I dare say look back on your 60 and 70 years and
37:58 you say ah young man they will seem shorter soon no doubt they will so teach us to number our days oh God that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom but is it not a solemn thing that there is another year nearly gone and yet many of you are unsaved you are just where you were last year no you are not you are nearer death and you are near a hell except you repent and perhaps even what I have said this morning will have no effect upon you you are not altogether hardened for you have had many serious Impressions scores of times you have wept under discourses and yet all has been in vain
38:46 for you are what you were I beseech you answer this question what have I done for remember there will be a time when you will ask this question but it will be be too late when is that say you on the deathbed no it is not too late there while the lamp holds out to burn the vest sinner May return but it will be too late to ask what have I done when the breath has gone out of your body just suppose the monument as it used to be before they caged it round suppose a man going up the winding staircase to the the top with a full determination to destroy himself he has G on the outside of the
39:33 railings can you imagine him for a moment saying what have I done just after he has taken his leap why me think some spirit in the air might whisper done you have done what you can never undo you are lost lost lost now remember that you that have not Christ are today going up that spiral staircase perhaps tomorrow you will be standing in the article of death upon the palisading and when death has gotten you and you are just leaping from the Monument of life down to the Gulf of Despair that question will be full of horror to you what have you done but the answer for it will not be profitable but full of
40:20 Terror me thinks I see a spirit launched upon the Sea of Eternity I hear it say what have I done it is plunged in flaming waves and cries what have I done it sees before it a long eternity but it asks the question again what have I done the dread answer comes thou Hast earned all this for thyself thou knewest thy duty but thou did it not thou was warned but thou did despise the warning ah here the doleful Soliloquy of such a spirit the last great day is come the Flaming Throne is set and the great book is opened I hear the leaves as with terrible rustle they are turned over I
41:07 see men motion to the right or to the left according to the result of that great book and what if I done I know that to me sin will be Destruction for I have never sought a savior what is that the judge has fixed his eye on me now it is on me turned will he say depart ye cursed unto me oh let me be crushed forever rather than bear that sight there is no noise but the finger is lifted and I'm dragged out of the crowd and I singly stand before the judge he turns to my page and before he reads it my heart Quakes Within Me Be it so says he it has never been blotted with my blood you despised
41:54 my calls you laughed at my people you would have none of my Mercy you said that you would take the wages of unrighteousness you shall have them the wages of sin is death Army and is he about to say depart ye cursed yes with a voice louder than a thousand Thunders he says depart ye cursed into Everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels ah it is all true now I laughed at the minister because he preached about hell and here am I in Hell itself ah I used to wonder why he wanted to frighten us so ah I would to God he
42:40 had frightened me more if he might but have frightened me out of this place but now here I am lost and There Is No Escape I am in darkness so dark there is not a ray of light can ever reach me I am shut up so close that not one of the bolts and bars can ever be removed I am damned forever ah that is a dreary Soliloquy I cannot tell it to you oh if you were there yourselves if you could only know what they feel and see what they endure then would you wonder that I'm not more Earnest in preaching the gospel and you would Marvel not that I wish to make You Weep but that I did not weep far more myself and and preach more
43:29 solemnly ah my hearers as the Lord my God liveth before whom I stand I shall one day stand acknowledged by your consciences as having been a true witness unto you this morning for there is not one of you here today but will be without excuse if you perish you have been warned I have warned you as earnestly as I can I have no more powers to spend No More arts to try no more persuasion that I can use I can only conclude by saying I beseech you fly to Jesus I entreat you as Immortal spirits that abound for Endless wealth or woe fly ye to Christ seek for Mercy at his
44:16 hands trust in him and be saved and at your peril reject my solemn warning remember you may reject it but you re not me but him that said me you may despise it but you despise not me but a greater the Moses even Jesus Christ the lord and when you come before his bar piercing will be his language and terrible his words when he condemns You Forever Forever Forever Without hope forever forever forever may God deliver Deliver Us from that for jesus' sake amen
