Running for a Purpose
You never find a man saying to you, "I don't profess to be a chaste living
man." You don't hear another say, "I don't profess to be anything but a covetous
wretch." No; people are not so fast about telling their faults: and yet you hear people
confess the greatest fault to which man can be addicted: they say, "I make no
profession" — which means just this — that they do not give God His due. God has
made them, and yet they won't serve Him; Christ has come into the world to save
sinners, and yet they will not regard Him; the gospel is preached, and yet they will not
hear it; they have the Bible in their houses, and yet they will not attend to its
admonitions; they make no profession of doing so. It will be short work with them at
the last great day. There will be no need for the books to be opened, no need for a
long deliberation in the verdict. They do not profess to be pardoned; their guilt is
written upon their own foreheads, their brazen shamelessness shall be seen by
the whole world, as a sentence of destruction written upon their very brows. You cannot
expect to win heaven unless your names are entered for the race. If there is no
attempts whatever made, even at so much as a profession of religion, then of course
you may just sit down and say, "Heaven is not for me; I have no part nor lot in the
inheritance of Israel; I cannot say that my Redeemer lives; and I may rest quite
assured that Tophet is prepared of old for me. I must feel its pains and know its
miseries; for there are but two places to dwell in hereafter, and if I am not found on
the right hand of the Judge there is but one alternative — namely, to be cast away
forever into the blackness of darkness."
