A DYING believer in the town of S― was once asked about his prospects for eternity. Taking a bit of ice from his mouth, and holding it up to the light, he calmly and joyfully replied, “My title is as clear as that!” And no wonder, with such evidence as this, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, and by him all that believe are justified from all things” (Acts 13:38, 3938Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:38‑39)).
Friend, is this blessed assurance yours? Is the knowledge of forgiveness your present portion, and the bright glory, your prospect? If you are a believer, why not? These words are for you. Rest your soul upon them in simple faith, and peace is yours.
