SETTING THE SEAL.

Look at John iii. 33: "He that hath received his testimony hath set to

his seal that God is true." In those days men used to wear a signet

ring, with their initials, and instead of signing their names, they

used to take the ring and seal the document. That was setting to their

seal; that was an endorsement. And now God comes down into this

unbelieving world, and says, "Who will set to his seal that I am

true?" And so I want to ask the friends in this hall, Who will set to

his seal or her seal that God is true? It is a great deal better for

us to make ourselves liars and God true than to try and make ourselves

out true and God a liar. That is what many men will do. Who will set

to his seal that God is true? Unbelief says, "I won't." Faith says, "I

will set to my seal." Oh, may God help many now to say, "I will set to

my seal that God is true" this very hour; and, my friends, the moment

you do set your seal that God is true, and put your faith in God, then

comes the peace, the happiness you have been looking for so long!
