WHO WILL HAVE IT?

Every man and woman may have it if they will but put their trust in

God. Is not God worthy of our confidence? Is not God worthy of our

trust? You must have a poor opinion of God if you cannot trust Him. We

consider we have a poor opinion of a man if we cannot trust him. If a

man should tell me something, and I did not believe a word he said, I

would have a very poor opinion of the man. Faith is putting confidence

in God's word. Take hold of His word to-night. He will save all that

will come--not only that, but He will save you when you do come. Away

with everything but Christ, and take Him now. Who will take God at His

word to-night? Some one has said, "Faith is saying yes to God." Who

will say yes to-night, and take it? Now, is it too much to ask or to

expect that every person in this hall should put their faith in God?

If God does not save us, who will? Men cannot, the church cannot,

creeds and doctrines cannot; the sacraments cannot save; baptism

cannot save. You must have a living personal Christ, and God presents

Him to the world. Who will take Him? Who will have Christ--who will

trust Him? Faith says, I will. Is it not the very best thing you can

do? Can you do a better thing than trust to God for salvation? "What

must I do to be saved?" Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, or trust the

Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and trust Him now.
