Now the grace of God offers through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ a gift which is eternal life, and we are asked to accept it as a gift, by simple faith, and our acceptance of it gives us the possession of it. How many thousands, instead of taking the gift, cry out “Give me feeling, give me feeling.” You will never have the joy of sins forgiven, until you accept of Him the forgiveness. You want to commence to build your house from the chimney, instead of the cellar. Do not look for feeling until you have forever settled the question in your heart as to Jesus Christ being your Saviour.
