Summary "Around the Wicket Gate" by C. H. Spurgeon is a Christian devotional work written in the late 19th century. This book addresses seekers who are on the verge of faith but hesitant to fully commit to trusting in Jesus Christ for salvation. Through a series of discussions and reflections, it seeks to encourage readers to overcome their doubts and fears and to embrace the simplicity and immediacy of Christian faith. The opening of the book sets the stage for its purpose by emphasizing the plight of those linger near the "wicket gate," a metaphor for the pathway to salvation. Spurgeon explores common reasons for hesitation, such as feelings of unworthiness or fear of fully letting go of sin. He underscores the importance of realizing the immediacy of salvation through faith in Christ, presenting arguments that challenge the seeker to act decisively and trust in Him without delay. The tone is earnest and pastoral, indicating not just a theological argument but a heartfelt appeal for transformation and assurance of grace. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
