Why am I not a Christian?
1. Is it because I am afraid of ridicule, and of what others may say of me? "Whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed." 2. Is it because of the inconsistencies of professing Christians? "Every man shall give account of himself to God." 3. Is it because I am thinking that I will do as well as I can, and that God ought to be satisfied with that? "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." 4. Is it because I am not willing to give up all to Christ? "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" 5. Is it because I am afraid that I shall not be accepted? "Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out." 6. Is it because I fear that I am too great a sinner? "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin." 7. Is it because I am afraid that I shall not "hold out?" "He that hath begun a good work in you, will perform it, until the day of Jesus Christ."—Independent.
