Now, in the New Testament, my Lord will say in Matthew 7 and 6, give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before Sly. You don't pay attention to what I'm saying here, the principle the Lord says, you go ahead and offer holy things unto dogs, and just indiscriminately cast out the pearls before a bunch of hogs, and you'll wind up being trampled under them, lest they trample them under their feet, they'll just turn aside from the holy things, don't want that, they'll just trample those precious pearls under their feet, and that ain't all they'll do, they'll turn again, they'll tear you apart, is a gift, confessions is freely offered, but in the language of the Bible, salvation is the gift of God, and Christ is that gift, is the principle of the word of God, God never vanishes from it, that he does not offer a gift to somebody who isn't prepared to accept it, you don't turn down a gift, you can turn down an offer, but you can't turn down a gift, a gift, you can receive it, but you can't reject it, it's true that men will reject everything they know about Christ, but salvation, in John chapter 4, the Lord plainly told the woman at the well, salvation is a gift of God, eternal life to as many as the Father has given him, isn't that what it says, to deal with all men, because in that sense he has bought all men, and he owned creation, he bought to deal with all mankind, eternal life, not offer, but give eternal life to some people, and dispose of the rest, that seemeth good in his sight, God doesn't give his gift, he despises it, he doesn't say now here's a beautiful thing, I want you to make up your mind, you'll take it, for salvation is Christ who would not trample it, they'd be glad to receive it, this is a principle upon which God works, now whether we can swallow it or not, we are butchers of souls, if we ignore the plain teaching of the Old Testament, that hearts must be plowed, that the ground must be fallowed, that it is down to obedience to the principle upon which God works, to attempt to sow amongst thorns and expect to harvest, it is true in the New Testament and in the Old, that the spiritual laws of harvest are exactly like a farmer in the state of Pennsylvania, the farmer goes out and plows deeply, isn't that right first, and then he cultivates, and then at a certain time he sows the seed, and then the rains and the sun come, and after a while he goes and looks for a harvest, but he doesn't look for a harvest before the plowing has been done, and he doesn't sow the seed before the plowing has been done, and neither does God, this is a law that cannot be ignored unless you wish to become a butcher of your own soul, and a butcher of every soul you touch, for it is eternally true that they only get God's best, who sincerely want it, capable of appreciating it, now let me repeat my premise, if God were going around offering, leaving it up to man as to whether he'd accept it or reject it, salvation might be one thing, but that isn't what God does, salvation, as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, my Lord sayeth, given me authority, that I should do what?
