Faithful, Earnest Warnings
89
me prophesy unto you: Unless you speedily humble your hearts
before God, and confess your sins, which are many, you will, when
it is too late, see that you have been fighting against God. Through
the conviction of the Holy Spirit, no longer unto reformation and
pardon, you will see that these men whom you have spoken against
have been as signs in the world, as witnesses for God. Then you
would give the whole world if you could redeem the past, and be
just such zealous men, moved by the Spirit of God to lift your voice
in solemn warning to the world; and, like them, to be in principle
firm as a rock. Your turning things upside down is known of the
Lord. Go on a little longer as you have gone, in rejection of the light
from heaven, and you are lost. “The man that shall be unclean, and
shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the
congregation.”
I have no smooth message to bear to those who have been so
long as false guideposts, pointing the wrong way. If you reject
Christ’s delegated messengers, you reject Christ. Neglect this great
salvation, kept before you for years, despise this glorious offer of
justification through the blood of Christ and sanctification through
the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit, and there remaineth no more
sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and
fiery indignation. I entreat you now to humble yourselves and cease
[98]
your stubborn resistance of light and evidence. Say unto the Lord,
Mine iniquities have separated between me and my God. O Lord,
pardon my transgressions. Blot out my sins from the book of Thy
remembrance. Praise His holy name, there is forgiveness with Him,
and you can be converted, transformed.
“For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from
dead works to serve the living God?”
