Sermons to the Unconverted: Preached in the Autumn of the Year 1839 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Sermons to the Unconverted: Preached in the Autumn of the Year 1839
There is something, my dear brethren, so melancholy, in the condition of those who are still unconverted, and pursuing their road through life under the anger of their Maker, without one solid hope for eternity, that I purpose to devote several sermons especially to their condition - hoping - praying - that God would be pleased to lead not a few of those in this congregation, who are still undecided and have never been led to "lay hold on the hope set before us in the Gospel" to do it without delay. And I ask the prayers of all, for those with whom they are associated in worship, and many of them in private life, that God would be pleased to bless what may now be addressed especially to them.
They may be in very various conditions. One (it may be) of those in this assembly to-day, who are still unchanged by grace, may be extremely ignorant of the Scriptures, and be able to give no account of the revealed way of salvation; while another may be perfectly familiar with the doctrines of the Gospel, and be abundantly able to maintain them all. One (it may be) may deny the doctrines, that he has heard stated and defended; while another may be perfectly convinced that they are true. One perhaps may have a sensible repugnance to every religious habit; while another may esteem religious persons, value religion itself, and often feel a wish that he was himself a religious man. It may be, that one perhaps is living in open and known sin, and pursuing in a most ungodly spirit every aim in life; and another (it may be) has paid considerable attention to the law of God, and is in many matters conformed to its requisitions. One perhaps may know that he is not a Christian, and may be braving the conviction that he feels; another may be deceived, and may fancy that he is already numbered amongst the children of God. One perhaps may have felt deep convictions of sin, which he has stifled and successfully overcome; in another those convictions may have lasted for a while, and then (as is often the case) subsided, so that they never led to a change of heart and life, and he may be mistaking those past convictions for conversion, and supposing that he is a Christian man because he has suffered so much more in his mind respecting sin and respecting religion than others have; another perhaps may be still under deep convictions of his lost state, and may know that he is no Christian, and may be doubting whether he ever shall become so. One perhaps may be thinking, that it is impossible for him at his time of life to make any great changes in his views or habits, and therefore be despondent respecting his ultimate state; another may in the pride of youth be thinking, that it is time enough, years still to come, for him to think of giving all his mind, all his affections to God.
