“ Summary, Part 3 (final) ” PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS [45:12]. 1. Shall you be one of the few? Salvation is the one thing needful. If you’re not saved, you’re better off never having been born. 2. If you are not one of the few already, strive to be one without delay. 3. If you are doubtful whether you are one of the few, make sure work at once, and be doubtful no more. 4. If you are one of the saved, be thankful. 5. If you are one, do not wonder that you often find yourself standing alone. This is practical proof of God’s sayings, not reason for doubt (Rev 7:9). 6. If you are one, do not be afraid of having too much godliness. 7. If you are one, use every opportunity of trying to do good to souls. Most around you are at risk of being lost forever. Live as though time is short and eternity is imminent. Live as though the mouth of hell is open wide and as though the gate of heaven is narrow.

“ Summary, Part 2 ” IV. PLAIN FACTS ABOUT THEIR NUMBER [22:11]. Set aside those people who are living in any kind of open sin (Gal 5:21), Sabbath-breakers, carnal Christians, formalists and the self-righteous, those who know the gospel but don’t obey it (Jas 2:17, 4:17; Lk 9:26), and hypocritical professors (Ez 33:31, 2 Tim 3:5). ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE DOCTRINE [34:45]. 1. Deathbed repentance. How likely is one who does not live a religious life to die a religious death? 2. GOD’S MERCY. This presumes upon the love of sinners that the gospel reveals. But men’s own testimony tells a different story (cf. Jn 5:4). 3. DENIAL OF EVIL IN THE WORLD. This is a faith in human progress. 4. THE GOSPEL IS TOO NARROW-MINDED AND EXCLUSIVE. Both the Bible and facts combine to prove that such people are few. 5. THE DOCTRINE IS TOO GLOOMY AND UNCHARITABLE. This puts human affection above the truth of the Bible. 6. THE DOCTRINE IS PRESUMPTUOUS. But has the Bible not spoken plainly about it? Who is really being presumptuous? 7. THE DOCTRINE IS EXTRAVAGANT AND UNWARRANTABLE, as though it is fanatical or irrational. But what justifies the doubter’s claim and disproves the word of God?

“ Summary, Part 1 ” The grand object of religion is salvation. I. WHAT IT IS TO BE SAVED [starting at 6:41 of the audio]. 1. It is to be delivered in this present life from the guilt of sin, by faith in Jesus Christ, the Savior. 2. It is to be delivered in this present life from the power of sin, by being born again, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 3. It is to be freed from the hateful dominion of sin, the world, and the devil, by having a new nature put in us by the Holy Spirit. 4. It is to be delivered in the day of judgment, from all the awful consequences of sin. II. COMMON MISTAKES ABOUT THE NUMBER OF THE SAVED [9:03]. They flatter themselves there is no great difficulty in getting to heaven, not for others who have died, no matter what they thought of them, and especially not for themselves. When ministers preach a strict gospel, they tend to think them too harsh. III. WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THEIR NUMBER [19:54]. No matter the time, the Bible is clear that few will be saved.
