The late Dr. Pentecost met an infidel, who scoffed at the idea of anyone putting faith in the Bible. Said the infidel: "A good many books of the Bible have no names of the writers attached to them. How then can you have any confidence in a book, whose authorship is so uncertain, and the subject of so much debate?"
"Who wrote the Multiplication Table?" asked Dr. Pentecost.
"I don't know," replied the infidel.
"What a man you are!" exclaimed Dr. Pentecost, "you believe it and use it, and you don't know the author of it."
The infidel was hard put to for a reply. He saw his difficulty, but seeing, as he thought, a way out, he said: "But the Multiplication Table works."
"Doubtless," replied Dr. Pentecost, and so does the Bible. It works."
How true this is, as tens of thousands, indeed millions of true Christians all over the world and down the centuries, have found.
"The Gospel... is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." Romans 1:1616For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16). Everyone without exception, who has really trusted the Savior, can testify to the truth of this. IT WORKS.
