I OUGHT to come to Christ :
Because he is the Son of God. Matt. xxvii, 54.
Because he is the Son of man. Heb. ii, 14.
Because he is the great Prophet. Acts iii, 22, 23.

Because he is King in Zion and Lord of all. Psa. ii, 6.
Because I am guilty, and his blood cleanses from all sin. 1 John i, 7.

Because I am in darkness and he is the light of the world. John i, 9.
Because I am foolish, and grace and truth came by him. John i, 17.
Because I am vile and he is made of God sanctification. 1 Cor. i, 30.
Because I am dead, and he came that I might have life, and might have it more abundantly. John x, 10.
Because I am perishing and he came to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke xix, 10.
Because I am weary and heavy laden, and none but Christ can give me rest. Matt. xi, 28.
Because I am poor, and he has unsearchable riches. Eph. iii, 8.
Because I cannot see, and he was sent to heal the blind. Isa. xlii, 7.
Because he is the chiefest among ten thousand, and altogether lovely. Song v, 10. 16.
Because when I hated him he loved me and gave himself for me. Rom. v, 8.
Because he is able to save me, however vile and guilty, helpless, ignorant, and hardened I may be. Heb. vii, 27.
Because he is willing to save me. 1 Tim. ii, 4.
Because there is salvation in none else. Acts iv, 12.
Because all the prophets point to him. Acts iii, 24.
Because all the types direct me to him. Heb. x, 1-9.
Because he is the way, the truth, and the life. John xiv, 6.
Because he never rejects any that come to him. John vi, 37.
Because he is the resurrection and the life. John xi, 25.
Because he is to be my Judge at the last day, and I would now make him my friend. Acts xvii, 31.
Because God's command makes it my duty. 1 John iii, 23.
Because if I come not to him I must perish. John iii, 36.
Surely these reasons are as many as I would desire. And they are very weighty. I never had as good reasons for anything I did as I have for going to Christ. I will go just as I am. I will not try to make myself better. It is of no use. I must have a great salvation. And I will go now. I dare wait no longer. Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation. Yes, by God's grace I will go to Christ Jesus now.
