Away with the sin, it is a deadly viper. Charles Spurgeon John chapter 5 verse 40 You will not come to me that you might have life. Possibly the reason why you will not come to Jesus is that you are indulging some secret sin which you will not give up. O that secret sin, that worm at the root of the soul, I know not what it is, but God knows, and you know. Is it your pride? You will not stoop to be saved by mercy through the free grace of God. Or is it a fleshly lust from which you will not separate yourself? It is as dear to you as your right hand. Off with it, man. It is better for you to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. Is your secret sin holding you back from Jesus, from eternal life, from heaven? As dear as this enchanting sin may be, do not prefer it to the Lord Jesus. Away with the sin. It is a deadly viper. Depart from it. or else God will say, Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. If you will not come unto Jesus that you might have life, then you shall not have life, but the wrath of God abides on you, and you must be cast into the eternal flames of hell. Sirs, if you must trifle, then trifle with something that will cost you less than your immortal souls. May God be pleased to awaken you from such folly as this.
