6. "I am trying to believe, but I have no assurance of salvation.”

Trying to believe whom? Would you dare speak of trying to believe that One who cannot lie? Is not this to insult God to His face? Suppose a dear friend of yours related a strange story which he declared to be a fact, would you say to him, "I will try to believe you." Would not this be tantamount to declaring that you did not believe him at all? Do not then, I beg of you, talk of trying to believe when God has given His own testimony concerning His Son, and promised to give eternal life to all who trust Him. You either do believe Him, or you do not. If you do not believe Him you practically make Him a liar. If you have been doing this heretofore, will you not go to Him at once and confess this great wickedness of which you have been guilty, and tell Him you will henceforth rest in simple faith upon His word? It is not a question of feeling or emotion, but of "believing God and asking no questions," as that little boy put it, when asked "What is faith?”
“I do believe, I now believe,
That Jesus died for me,
That on the cross He shed His blood
From sin to set me free.”
