Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 5:25

"Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you." — Jeremiah 5:25 (ASV)

Does any unconverted man here know what good things he has missed up to the present moment? Suppose you, my friend, were to be saved tonight, yet can you even imagine what joy you have lost through all the years of your past impenitence? Nothing can ever give back to you the years that have gone, or impart to you, in the future, the joy you might have had, but which you have missed.

And, take note, if there were no hell to be endured, it is enough of hell to have missed heaven. It will be grief enough to your heart, in the end, to find that your sins have withholden good things from you.
