In 1829 George Wilson was adjudicated guilty and given the death sentence for murder.  But Wilson had some friends who petitioned President Andrew Jackson for a pardon.  Jackson granted the pardon, and it was brought to prison and given to Wilson.  To everyone's surprise, Wilson said, "I am going to hang."  There had never been a refusal to a pardon, so the courtsw didn't know what to do.  Discussion went all the way to the Supreme Court, and Justice John Marshall gave this ruling:  A pardon is a piece of paper, the value of which depends upon the acceptance by the person implicated.  If he does not accept the pardon, then he must be executed."  God loves you and wants to pardon you, but if you refuse Him, you will die and go to hell.  Cast yourself upon Him completely, and receive the free gift of His forgiveness today.
