I was called to visit a young woman who was ill. For some months a. Christian had been taking tracts to her, and speaking to her of the Savior, but she had not made any profession as to salvation. Going to her bed, I remarked,
"You are feeling very poorly, today, are you not?" There was no answer. Again I spoke, but she did not seem to hear, so I bent down close to her ear, and said,
"The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin."
She opened her eyes and looked up at me and said,
"I believe it. I'm trusting it. I'm waiting to go to Him."
She had a "title to glory." It was the blood of Christ; nothing else: Indeed, there is no other title, though so many are trying to make one by their works, their good lives, even their own faith, but it will not do.
This dear woman had a title by simply trusting the Lord Jesus. It makes one sad to find so few who have "The Blood," as their title; and yet nothing else will do for God.
Reader, if you have not trusted the same blessed Savior as this woman did, if you have not a "title to glory," just close your eyes for five minutes, and think,
"Where shall I spend Eternity?"
This life is so short; but Eternity is forever and ever. Do not try to do something to gain God's favor by yourself. First own yourself absolutely unfit, and that there is no good in you, then take what God offers you today, salvation through the finished work of the Lord Jesus on the cross (John 19:3030When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:30)).
Trust the blessed Savior, and prove to be true for yourself that "the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin," and rejoice that you have a "title to glory," which no one can take away from you.
"Our title to glory
We read in Thy blood."
"He that Believeth on Him (Jesus) is not Condemned: but He that Believeth Not, is Condemned Already, because He hath not Believed on the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God."
He that that Believeth on the Son Hath Everlasting Life."
