The Warning Neglected

In this sermon on Ezekiel 33:5, Charles Spurgeon warns that people who hear the gospel preached clearly and repeatedly but refuse to respond will have no one to blame but themselves when they face judgment. He argues that his listeners cannot claim they weren't warned about hell and God's wrath since he has preached clearly, earnestly, and frequently to them for years, making excuses like "I didn't believe it," "I didn't like the preacher," or "I was too busy" completely invalid and wicked. Spurgeon stresses that those who reject the gospel after hearing it will die without excuse and their eternal damnation will be their own fault—"their blood shall be upon their own head"—while he urges people to believe in Jesus Christ immediately before it's too late, warning that some in the audience might die before the next Sunday.Sermon delivered on November 29, 1857.
