Fire! Fire!
What a heart-chilling sound! But how comforting to the owner of the burning building if he can say: “It is completely insured. Everything is covered by insurance.”
Why is it that so many people take every precaution to preserve their material possessions, and take so little thought for the intangible? They seek to preserve intact or insure for equal value every tangible thing that belongs to them, but pay no attention to the things of eternity. If a house is destroyed by fire the first thought is: “How much insurance?” In contrast, if their earthly house of this tabernacle—the body—meets with disaster and death is threatening, the question must be: “Is salvation insured? Are you saved?”
God has made provision for your eternal security, at tremendous cost to Himself, and He offers it to you for nothing. If you refuse such wonderful love, what provision will you be able to make of your own that will satisfy God? None.
Friend, own to God you are a sinner. Receive Christ as your own personal Saviour, and your name will be written in God’s book of life and kept securely in the safety vault of heaven. God assures you that you shall never perish, but shall have everlasting life.
