Fifthly,1 Christ this day solemnly demands entrance into thy Soul, he begs thee to open to him, 2 Cor. 5. 20. He commands thee to open to him, 1 John 3. 23. He denounceth eternal Damnation to those that refuse him entrance. Now consider well, here is entrance demanded under pain of the eternal Wrath of God; this demand is filed and recorded in Heaven, at your own peril be it if you shut the door against him; only this I will say in my Redeemers behalf, if you refuse, bear witness Heaven and Earth this day, that Christ solemnly demanded entrance into thy Soul and was refused; bear witness, that the door was shut against the only Redeemer, who entreated, commanded and threatened eternal Damnation to the rejecters of him. O methinks that Scripture, Prov. 1. 24. 25. is able to strike terror into the very centre of that Soul that refuses the offers of Christ.
