This text may fall into the hands of some who know nothing whatever about growth in grace. They have little or no concern about religion. A little Sunday church-going or chapel-going, makes up the sum and substance of their Christianity. They are without spiritual life — so of course they cannot at present grow. Are you one of these people? If you are, you are in a pitiable condition. Years are slipping away, and time is flying. Graveyards are filling up, and families are thinning. Death and judgment are getting nearer to us all! And yet you live like one asleep about your soul! What madness! What folly! What suicide can be worse than this? Awake before it is too late; awake, and arise from the dead, and live to God. Turn to Him who is sitting at the right hand of God, to be your Savior and Friend. Turn to Christ, and cry mightily to Him about your soul. There is yet hope! He who called Lazarus from the grave — has not changed. He who commanded the widows son at Nain to arise from his casket — can do miracles yet for your soul. Seek Him at once: seek Christ, if you would not be lost forever. Do not stand still talking and meaning and intending and wishing and hoping. Seek Christ that you may live; and that living — you may grow. ~ J.C. Ryle, Holiness
