I received a letter which told of some people who said they were saved by the precious blood of Christ. It so gladdened my heart when I read these lines that I thought I would tell you I too was saved three years ago. I well remember the time when I was in deep soul trouble, wondering where would go if the Lord Jesus would come tonight and leave me behind. I knew I could go into hell where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, but I can thank God many times for sending His own blessed Son down to die on the cross of Calvary for a good-for-nothing sinner like me. I found I could do nothing but accept Him. I can thank God that He brought me down to that point. If He hadn’t, I would not have been saved yet.
We are having Sunday school over in D. where Mr. B. and others come out at 3:00 o’clock to 4:00. It so delights my heart to hear of the Saviour that I cannot stay away from these meetings, for I want to hear more about Jesus, the One who loved me and gave Himself for me. Many clear friends close by have been saved since the Sunday school has started here ... ... O how wondrous it is to know that I am saved from the wrath to come, by the blood of Christ. How much we owe without money and without price.
The Bible Questions have been a great help to me in reading the Word of God, more and more growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I do thank you for the beautiful book you have given me, telling of the Saviour’s love. We just ask you to pray for its that we might keep walking in the light, telling others about Jesus and His love, that they may be saved too.
In the present time when the burden of sins seems to trouble so few people, and Satan has so many attractions to keep any from thinking of having to do with God, who might have their consciences awakened, it is especially cheering to hear of those here and there who have been brought to see themselves lost, helpless sinners, and have been saved through believing, in Jesus. We praise God for all who, like the dear boy whose letter gladdened our hearts, have found peace with Him, the source of true joy. We trust that many more will flee to Christ, from the horrible trap the enemy has set for them, and be able to say, “God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
