VI. THE SINNER'S EXCUSES ANSWERED you have rejected Him. He gave Himself a voluntary offering, not to suffer the penalty of the law, but as your legal substitute; and shall He have done all this in vain? Do you say, "O,
I'm so prejudiced against God and the Bible!" What, so prejudiced that you will not repent?
How horrible! O let it suffice that you have played the fool so long and erred so exceedingly.
It has been all wrong! At once return and devote yourself to God. Why should you live to yourself at all? You can get no good so!
Come to God—He is so easily pleased! It is so much easier to please Him than to please and satisfy yourself. The veriest little child can please Him. Children often have the most delightful piety, because it is so simple-hearted. They know what to do to please God, and, meaning honestly to please Him, they can not fail. No matter how simple-hearted they are, if they mean to please God, they surely will.
And can not you at least do so much as honestly to choose and aim to please God?
