True Conversion
265
linger and will not come to Christ that you may have life. Oh, that
your heart may be impressed with a sense of this time, that you may
now turn and live! Cannot you hear the voice of the True Shepherd
in this message? How can you disobey? Trifle not with God, lest
He leave you to your own crooked ways. It is life or death with you.
Which will you choose? It is a fearful thing to contend with God
and resist His pleadings. You may have the love of God burning
upon the altar of your heart as you once felt it. You may commune
with God as you have done in times past. If you will make a clean
track behind you you may again experience the riches of His grace,
and your countenance again express His love.
It is not required of you to confess to those who know not your
sin and errors. It is not your duty to publish a confession which
will lead unbelievers to triumph; but to those to whom it is proper,
who will take no advantage of your wrong, confess according to the
word of God, and let them pray for you, and God will accept your
work, and will heal you. For your soul’s sake, be entreated to make
thorough work for eternity. Lay aside your pride, your vanity, and
make straight work. Come back again to the fold. The Shepherd is
waiting to receive you. Repent, and do your first works, and again
come into favor with God.
