The Republican and Democratic conventions are past and we are in
the midst of the 1964 Presidential Campaign. It is bound to get more
exciting as election day approaches. We hope our readers are
interested in our government and in what policies it pursues, but
there is something even more important than this — important to you
and me personally, and for all eternity.
God has put each man on the spot, as it were, by offering
justification and eternal life as a free gift, through Christ, who
died for our sins. Rom. 6:23 clearly states:
“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Now the question is: Will you accept this gift, or will you reject
it? Perhaps you reply: “I won’t do anything about it; I’ll take
my time and think it over.” But you can’t; you can’t just do
nothing about a free gift which God offers for your acceptance “now”
(II Cor. 6:2). If you do not accept it, you thereby reject it.
God purposely puts us on the spot in this matter, for the
consequences are truly great. God’s Word says, in John 3:35,36:
“The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand.
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
God does not take it lightly when He offers forgiveness and all
the riches of His grace as a gift and this gift is spurned.
Unbelievers are not condemned only because they have sinned, but
because they have spurned God’s grace and rejected salvation
through Christ, who died to save them. Thus it is written in John
3:18:
“He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Which will you do, accept Christ or reject Him and the gift of
salvation He purchased for you with His blood?
