Synopsis
Excerpt from Christ Knocking at the Door of Sinners' Hearts: Or, a Solemn Entreaty to Receive the Saviour and His Gospel, in This the Day of Mercy
In the contemplation of this matter, the Lord directed me to this scripture, wherein the same hand that opened to you the door of liberty, knocks importunately at the doors of your hearts for entrance into them, and for union and com munion with them. It will be sad indeed if he who hath let you into all these mercies, should himself be shut out of your hearts; but if the Lord help you to open your hearts now to Christ, I doubt not this door of liberty will be kept open to you, how many soever the adversaries be that will do their utmost to shut it up. Ezek. 39 29. The mercies you enjoy this day are the fruits of Christ's intercession with the Father for one trial more: if we bring forth fruit, well if not, the axe lieth at the root of the tree. Under this con sideration I desire to speak, and even so the Lord help you to hear what shall be spoken from this precious scripture, behold, I stand AT the door and knock: IF any man hear MY voice and open the door, I will come IN TO Hm, and will sup with him, and HE with me.
