A Personal Matter

CHRISTIANITY," said Martin Luther, " is a religion of personal pronouns." How true this is!
It is not, We are all sinners, but- I am a sinner.
It is not, Jesus is a Savior, but- Jesus is MY Savior.
If you have not made it a personal matter like this, my reader, you are not saved.
A young man in the West Indies once said to me, " I believe all you say, and I like your meetings, but I am not saved. How is it? "
I replied, " Have you ever got into the presence of God and said, ' O God, if there were not another sinner on earth, I am one, and, as a sinner, I claim Christ as my Savior, even though every other sinner refuses Him? "
" Well," he said, " it is your very personal way of putting it that I do not like."
Ah! this was the secret. He had missed the blessing, because he refused to make it a personal matter.
Reader, have you made it a personal matter yet?
