      God's Way of Salvation - Alexander Marshall

      Salvation

      1. I’ve never done anyone any harm

      Such an excuse has often been given. Is this your excuse? Do you really mean that you have never done any harm? Have you never cherished an impure, unkind or wicked thought? Have you never spoken a hasty word, told a lie or attempted to mislead anyone? Have you loved God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind? Have you loved your neighbour as yourself? Oh no, you reply. No one has done so.

      Never mind others just now. You admit that you have sinned. If one were found guilty of breaking the laws of this country, who would believe that he had done no harm? There is no use concealing the fact that you have not been what you ought to have been; you have not done what you should have done—in other words, you are a sinner, and the Word of God declares, The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezek 18:4). The wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). Take your place as lost and ruined in God’s sight, and give up all attempts to excuse or cover up your sins. They cannot be hid from God.

      2. I’ll turn over a new leaf

      It is all very well to say that you will turn over a new leaf. But let me ask, What about the past black leaves of guilt? Turning over a new leaf does not remove the blotted ones.

      It may be at one time you were addicted to drinking or swearing or other bad habits, but of late you have turned over a new leaf and are become what the world calls a reformed person. This is right and proper, but don’t forget that future good conduct can never blot out past disobedience.

      A merchant finds that he is in difficulties. He takes his cash book and begins a new leaf, forgetting that there is a carried over and a brought forward column. New figures on the new leaf won’t pay the old debts. Every page of our life’s account is headed with a brought forward. Turning over a new leaf won’t do for you. The Saviour’s declaration is, Ye must be born again (John 3:3-7).

      3. God is merciful

      To one Satan says, God is too merciful to punish sinners, and if this is not believed he says, If God does punish the sinner in hell, the punishment won’t be eternal.

      It is a blessed truth that God is merciful, but He is also holy and just, and He never can be merciful at the expense of His justice. All His attributes are equally balanced and cannot conflict with each other. He who is long-suffering and slow to anger will by no means clear the guilty.

      God’s pardoning mercy flows only through one channel, and that is the atonement of Christ. All who refuse to accept life through His death must forever dwell with the devouring fire. The wicked shall be turned into hell (Psa 9:17). "He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
