Exhortations in regard to faith in Jesus:

Jesus invites and calls sinners to Himself through His Word: "Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David," (Isaiah 55:3). "Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else," (Isaiah 45:22). Consider that word "Me." Jesus is the object of faith to which you must look. Don't try to look, or try to believe, for faith is not a work that you can or must do of yourself, but rather, believe! Look entirely away from, and forget everything about yourself. Forget even the exercise of faith itself, and gaze only upon the bleeding Saviour. Let all your contemplations and all your thoughts be totally absorbed and wrapped up with Him and His sacrifice for sin. Keep your gaze fixed upon Immanuel until the peace of God, which passes all understanding, fills your heart and mind! And turn not your eyes away from the cross, away from the Saviour, for all of time and throughout all eternity. Forever keep your gaze fixed on Him! In Him is all your salvation, all your hope, all your righteousness, your eternal joy, your all in all! Amazing grace! Amazing love! (Romans 10:8; Matthew 11:28; Ephesians 2:8; Philippians 4:7; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

Concluding thoughts:

"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, (John 1:29b). Jesus fully satisfied for sin! As the Lamb of God, He carried away the sins of the world, (Leviticus 16:21-22). He opened up the blessed and only way of reconciliation between God and sinners. He conquered sin, and death, and hell. And now, to you, He offers this complete and full salvation. He offers to you His perfect and finished salvation. Friend, do you believe this? Do you value this?

"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world," (John 1:29). Behold this Saviour! Do you not see any beauty in Him? Does His dying, redeeming love not draw your heart to desire Him for your Saviour? Do you not see a perfect suitableness in His righteousness, His blood, to cover the mountains of your sins? Friend, consider His sacrifice that He gave so that you might be saved. Outside of Christ there is no hope or salvation. You need a Refuge for your soul! You need to be washed in the blood of the Lamb! Cling then to Jesus for your salvation. Cast the entire weight of your soul upon Him. Wash away all your sins in the fountain of His blood. Outside of Him there is no life, no peace, no joy, and no hope. It is so sweet to rest one's sin-weary soul upon Him. Surrender to Him all your heart, vile and sinful as it is, for He will not cast you away, (John 6:37). "This man receiveth sinners," (Luke 15:2b). Jesus is now exalted most gloriously at the right hand of His Father, and one day He will come again in judgment to this world. Do you love His appearing? Do you long for His coming? Seek to know this Saviour. Seek to be found in Him, not having your own righteousness, (Philippians 3:9). Look now to the risen Saviour! Look to the exalted King! "Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him," (Psalm 2:12).
