Excerpt from – Christ Set Forth As A Propitiation

From a Sermon Delivered March 29, 1861, by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington.

“The Lord has opened the door, and stands at it. Is the door good enough for the king, and yet not good enough for a  rebel like yourself? “But.” Away with your “buts!” You want to bring something to add to Christ—is He enough to reconcile God, and not enough to reconcile you? “But, but,” again. So God thinks the precious blood to be a sufficient price, and you think it is not? Oh fool and slow of heart, how dare you think that God has not set forth enough, but you must add to it! Instead of this, I pray you in Christ’s stead, believe in Christ as you are!

Whoever you may be, whatever your past life has been, whatever your present feelings are—entrust your soul with Christ, and God declares that your sins are put away! Put your soul as it is—I care not how black with sin, it matters not how depraved it is—put it here on that Mercy Seat which God has set forth, and you have put it where God commanded you put it, and its salvation rests no more with you. You have put your salvation into Christ’s hands, it is His business to save you, and He will do it—

“I know that safe with Him remains,
Protected by His power.
What I’ve committed to His hands,
Till the decisive hour.” (Fm: Hymn T. Jackson)
