Saved, Almost – Charles Spurgeon

YOU are almost saved; you are awakened, you are aroused, you have many good desires, but a man who is only almost saved will be altogether damned. There was a householder who almost bolted his door at night, but the thief came in; a prisoner was condemned to be hanged, and was almost pardoned, but he hung on the gallows: a ship was almost saved from shipwreck, but she went to the bottom with all hands on board; a fire was almost extinguished, but it consumed a city; a man almost decided remains to perish in the flames of Hell. So is it with you: except you believe, all these things which you possess of good desire and emotion shall be of no service to you at all, for “he who believes not shall be damned.”
