C.H. Spurgeon – Words of Warning for Daily Living

How to Get Saving Faith
A better plan still is this, — note the authority upon which you are commanded to
believe, and this will greatly help you. The authority is not mine, or you might well
reject it. It is not even the Pope’s, or you might even reject that. But you are
commanded to believe upon the authority of God Himself. He bids you believe in
Jesus Christ, and you must not refuse to obey your Maker. The foreman of a certain
works in the north had often heard the Gospel, but he was troubled with the fear that
he might not come to Christ. His good master one day sent a card round to the works
— “Come to my house immediately after work.” The foreman appeared at his
master’s door, and the master came out, and said, somewhat roughly, “What do you
want, John, troubling me at this time? Work is done; what right have you here?” “Sir,”
said he, “I had a card from you saying that I was to come after work.” “Do you mean
to say that merely because you had a card from me you are to come up to my house
and call me out after business hours?” “Well, sir,” replied the foreman, “I do not
understand you, but it seems to me that, as you sent for me, I had a right to come.”
“Come in, John,” said his master, “I have another message that I want to read to
you,” and he sat down and read these words: “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” “Do you think after such a message from
Christ that you can be wrong in going to Him?” The poor man saw it all at once, and
believed, because he saw that he had good warrant and authority for believing. So
have you, poor soul; you have good authority for coming to Christ, for the Lord
Himself bids you trust Him.
