Dear —
You would never guess what happened to me on December 15, 1971. I got saved. I was thinking about John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) in this way: “For God so loved ME, that He gave His only begotten Son for ME, that whosoever (me) that believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
I got thinking, if Jesus died for me, I believe it, and then I’m saved, because there are no two ways about it. I believed it and so now I’m saved. Is it ever grand to be saved! My brother often said to me, “If the Lord comes, you’ll be left behind,” but it’s not true anymore. My grandma is 80, and when I told her that I was saved, she was so happy, she cried.
Well, I guess I’ll stop now, but I just wrote to tell you that I’m saved.

Wasn’t that a nice letter? If you are not saved, dear young reader, why not put your own name in John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) like Janet did?
