"How Shall I Go to God?" It is with our sins that we go to God—for we have nothing else to go with that we can call our own. This is one of the lessons that we are so slow to learn; yet without learning this—we cannot take one right step in that which we call a Christian life.
To look up some good thing in our past life, or to get some good thing now, if we find that our past does not contain any such thing—is our first thought when we begin to inquire after God, that we may get the great question settled between Him and us, as to the forgiveness of our sins.
"In His favor is life"; and to be without this favor is to be unhappy here, and to be shut out from joy hereafter. There is no life worthy of the name of life except that which flows from His assured friendship. Without that friendship, our life here is a burden and a weariness; but with that friendship we fear no evil, and all sorrow is turned into joy.
How Shall I Go to God? brings the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in nine short messages, each from a different perspective, inviting those in this world to carefully consider the claims of God upon their lives. These were not originally spoken sermons, as is much of the current literature from prior centuries; rather, each short message was written specifically as a tract to command the attention of readers across time and cultures.
