Another class say, "I am trying to be." This is a queer kind of
testimony, my friends. I notice no man is willing to go into the inquiry
room till he has got a step beyond that. That class of Christians don't
amount to much. The real Christian puts it, "I believe; I believe that
my Redeemer liveth; I believe that if this building of flesh were
destroyed, I have a building not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens." No hoping and trusting with them. It is, "I know." Hope is
assured to the Christian. It is a sure hope; it isn't a doubting hope.
Suppose a man asked me if my name was Moody, and I said, "Well, I hope
so," wouldn't it sound rather strange? "I hope it is;" or, "I'm trying
to be Moody." Now, if a man asks you if you are a Christian, you ought
to be able to give a reason.
GOLD.
-- There cannot be any peace where there is uncertainty.
-- There is no knowledge like that of a man who knows he is saved, who
can look up and see his "title clear to mansions in the skies."
-- I believe hundreds of Christian people are being deceived by Satan,
now on this point, that they have not got the assurance of salvation
just because they are not willing to take God at His word.
-- "But," a man said to me, "no one has come back, and we don't know
what is in the future.
