Whoever Calls.

 by Spurgeon...

Acts 2:21

I speak to some whom I know are under a severe trial.  You seem to have given up, but I beg you to call on the name of the Lord.  You cannot perish praying; no one ever has.  If you perished praying, you would be a new wonder in the universe.  A praying soul in hell is an utter impossibility.

A person calling on God and being rejected, impossible!  The supposition is not to be entertained.  "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).  God cannot lie.  He must quit His nature, forfeit His claim to mercy, and destroy His character of love if He refuses to hear a sinner who calls on His name.  there will come a day when He will say, "When I called, you did not answer" (Isaiah 65:12), but that is not today.  Where there is life, there is hope.  "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts" (Hebrews 3:15).  Call on God at once.

This warrant of grace runs through all the regions of life:  "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
