If you cannot feel sure that you have ever exercised this simple unreserved trust in your Lord and Saviour, endeavor now to commit yourself into his hands. Instead of tormenting yourself with so many vain fears, cast yourself anew on the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, as if you had never been to him before. Fall, just as you are, into the arms of his mercy. Say unto him, "Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief." If you can do nothing more, lie passive at his feet, until his pitying eye shall look down upon you, and his gentle hand shall raise you from the dust. Trust in him, though he slay you. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.
