He Settled It at Once

Narrator: Chris Genthree
A FARMER, getting on in years, one evening was leisurely driving his cows home from the pasture. His thoughts ran like this: “Here I am getting old, and yet I am not a Christian. When is this matter to be settled? I fear never, if I don’t begin to think on the subject.” And then the thought came up: “Why not settle it at once? Why not come to Christ and be a Christian without further delay?”
This thought came home so forcibly to his conscience that he exclaimed, “I will be a Christian now. This night shall decide it.” And right there and then he turned to the Saviour who ever waits to welcome sinners that trust Him. As he opened his heart to the Lord a deep peace flowed into his soul and he went on his way rejoicing.
“If any man be in Christ, He is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.” 2 Cor. 5:1717Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17).
