"...And now saints, with every head raised and every eye open, and no music playing, let me challenge you as to the validity of your salvation. Modern evangelism says, "Never question your salvation." The Bible says the exact opposite. It says, "Examine yourself and see if you're in the faith" (2Cor. 13:5). Better now than on the day of judgment. The Bible says "make your calling and election sure" (2Pet. 1:10), and some of you know that something is radically wrong in your Christian walk. You lose your peace and joy when the flight gets bumpy. There is a lack of zeal to evangelize. You never fell on your face before Almighty God and said, "I've sinned against You, oh God! Have mercy upon me!" You've never fled to Jesus Christ and His blood for cleansing, in desperation crying out, "God be merciful to me a sinner!" And there's a lack of gratitude; there's not a burning zeal for the lost. You can't say you're on fire for God; in fact, you're in danger of being one of the ones that are called "lukewarm" and will be spewed out of the mouth of Christ on the day of judgment (Rev. 3:16) when multitudes will cry out to Jesus, "Lord, Lord." And he'll say, "Depart form me you worker of iniquity—lawlessness: I never knew you" (Mat. 7:22–23). No regard to the divine law. The Bible says, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity"—lawlessness (2Tim. 2:19). So today you need to readjust the motive for your commitment. Friend, don't let your pride stop you. I would like to pray for you: I'll remain up here, you remain in your seat. And if you'd like to be included in this prayer, I'd like for you to slip up your hand, but remember this. If you say, "Well, I should put my hand up but what will people think?" that's pride. You prefer the praises of men to the praises of God (John 12:43). Everyone who is proud of heart is an abomination to the Lord (Prov. 16:5). God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. So humble yourself before the mighty hand of God; He'll exalt you in due time (1Pet. 5:5–6). Call it a recommittal; call it a committal. But whatever you call it, make your calling and election sure."
