Thousands of Slaves worked in the
Cotton Fields of the United States Under the blazing sun, they sang the words of this old gospel song: Steal away, steal away, Steal away to Jesus, Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay |
| Steal away to Jesus... To the Son of God who loved you and gave Himself for you (Galatians 2:20) |
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. What condescension on His part to come to earth and to love the unlovely and to give Himself to the cruel sufferings of the Cross. |
| Steal away to Jesus... The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) but Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:6) |
When Christ came and died, it was not for His own sons. He Himself never sinned, for He was the Son of God, but He willingly undertook to pay the price of our sins i.e. by taking their guilt upon Himself and so incurring the righteous wrath of a Holy God. He died for the ungodly - so there is no man too deep in sin to disqualify himself from the provision of the gospel. |
| Steal away to Jesus... Who abundantly pardons all who seek Him in repentance and in faith (Isaiah 55:7) |
He is rich in mercy and delights to pardon every last sin of His people. These are those who seek Him as lost sinners in repentance ( an active desire to turn away from sin) and in faith (a spirit of trust) and who, therefore, are not looking to their ownselves or anyone else to do what Christ alone can do. |
|
Steal away to Jesus...
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36)
|
Therefore a complete and sufficient Saviour and One worthy to be trusted with your never dying soul. Christ has never lost a soul yet of any of His people. All at last will be gathered over on the other side and brought safely home: Kept by the power of God through faith (1 Peter 1:5) |
|
Flee away to Jesus who said... "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37)
|
No one ever fled to Jesus in repentance and faith and found a shut door. He is a big enough Saviour to invite all, welcome all and save all who come to Him in the manner so described i.e. in repentance and in faith. Have you so sought and found Him? |
| I ain't got long to stay here... This is urgent |
Your life is described various ways in the Bible and all to describe its brevity. Once the soul leaves the body in death, there is no second chance. As you leave this life (saved or unsaved) so you will be for all eternity, world without end. |
| I ain't got long to stay here... It is time to seek the Lord (Hosea 10:12) |
Thank God it is time! The gospel door is open wide and all are invited to enter in. The Spirit of God is still striving with people as gospel evangelists (such as the one who gave you this card) are still working endlessly to tell as many people as possible. |
| I ain't got long to stay here... NOW is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2) |
Therefore do not miss it. For you, tomorrow's sun may never rise. God's Spirit will not always strive with man (Genesis 6:3) Many have delayed salvation too long and perished for their troubles. Note: There is no reason why you should not be saved here and now. Others have fled to Jesus for refuge and have found Him a safe place for their soul. Why not you? Why not now? |
