"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 yet 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. As a sinner, I claim Christ as my Savior, even though every other sinner refuses "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 had refused to make his own soul's salvation a personal matter between himself and the One with Whom we have to do.
Reader, have you made it a personal matter yet?
