UNWILLING TO YIELD

     By A. W. Tozier

     Yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the
     dead.    ---Romans 6:13

         I know there are people who hear me preach regularly,
     who will never consider changing their way of living.
     They will go "underground" before they will do that!

         Our situation is not an isolated case. There are millions
     of men  and  women  with  an  understanding  of  the
     revelation of God in Jesus Christ, who are still not willing
     to receive and commit themselves to Him whom the very
     angels and stars and rivers receive. They hesitate and they
     delay because they know God is asking the abdication of
     their own selfish little kingdom and interests.

         This is the tragedy of mankind, my brethren! We have
     rejected Him from our lives because we must have our
     own way. But until Jesus Christ is sincerely received,
     there  can  be  no  knowledge  of  salvation,  nor  any
     understanding of the things of God.

         The little, selfish, sinful man rejects the Son of God.
     While he is still enumerating the things he deserves, the
     Son of God stands outside.

         My brethren. I repeat: this is the great tragedy of
     mankind!
