About this ebook

He who does not take the step of faith and enter upon the road to heaven will perish. It will be an awful thing to die close to, but yet outside the gate of life. Almost saved, but altogether lost! This is the most terrible of positions. A man just outside Noah’s ark would have drowned; a murderer close to the wall of the city of refuge, but outside of it, would be slain; and the man who is within a yard of Christ but has not trusted him will be lost.

Therefore, I am in terrible earnest to get my hesitating friends over the threshold. Come in! Come in! is my pressing plea. Why dost thou stand outside? is my solemn inquiry (Genesis 24:31). May the Holy Spirit render my pleadings effective with many who read these pages! May he cause his own almighty power to create faith in the soul at once.

My reader, if God blesses this book to you, do the writer this favor – either lend your own copy to someone who is lingering at the gate or buy another and give it away, for his great desire is that this little volume should be of service to many thousands of souls.

To God this book is commended, for without his grace nothing will come of all that is written.

 – C. H. Spurgeon

Ratings and reviews

Calvinism doesn't get my vote for election. Jesus wasn't a calvinist. His flower isn't a Tulip. It's a Rose. People need to be saved, baptisted, and delievered to be set free to walk in holiness & sanctification. The best teacher is Jesus Christ not John Calvin or Spurgeon or the other men. Martin Luther brought us back to the truth from salvation being sold down the river by indulgences. Men of history had their place but they are dead and Jesus Christ had been risen from the dead. I'll stick with Jesus Christ because there is power in his name. The other's don't stand a chance! Too many people make these men idols like their pastor's. Let God be praised and call all men liars. This is why Calvinism verses Arminianism causes wars. Both cause Divisions and God is not the author of confusion. We can all be taught by God. The real church in the end is people not buildings or mega churches. Jesus Christ is Lord!

it's good book help me to understand the word of God. and help me spiritually to improve carry on to be better. and keep believe lord jesus christ

how sad the creation destroyed the Creator with such pain and hatred and at the same time he's maintaining order in the universe in our lives that I believe that as for me I would have called all the angels to wipe out Humanity and who else would I think who of us has the power and the ability to hold and take so much pain being with you back is ripped over to the Bone I can't imagine that thank God and my Lord Jesus for what he went through for me if you can do that for me I can do anything and I mean anything for him
