To all doubters!

“‘Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other!’ (Isaiah 45:22:)

But thou sayest sin will not let thee look. I tell thee, sin will be removed the moment thou dost look. ‘But I dare not; He will condemn me; I fear to look.’ He will condemn thee more, if thou dost not look. Fear, then, and look; but do not let thy fearing keep thee from looking. ‘But He will cast me out.’ Try Him. ‘ But I cannot see Him.’ I tell you, it is not seeing, but looking. ‘But my eyes are so fixed on the earth, so earthly, so worldly.’ Ah! but, poor soul, He giveth power to look and live. He saith – ‘Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.’”

- Charles Spurgeon, “Sovereignty and Salvation”
