In one of our States some years ago there was a blacksmith who was a great despiser of God. One day a Christian man named Mr. Brown rode down to the man’s forge and said to him “Neighbor, I am under very great concern about your soul’s salvation! I tell you, I pray day and night for your soul’s salvation,”
He left the astonished man, mounted his horse, and rode rapidly away. The blacksmith went to his house, and said to a friend, “Here’s a new argument! Here’s Mr. Brown been down to see me. He did not dispute, and never said a word to me except this; ‘I say, I am under great concern about your soul. I pray day and night for your soul’s salvation,’ Oh, that fellow! I cannot answer him!” And the tears began to roll down his cheeks.
He went to his wife, and said, “I can’t make this out; I never cared about my own soul; but here’s a man that has no connection with me, and he has come five miles on horseback just to tell me he is under concern about my soul.” And the wretched man never got rest till he had peace with God through Jesus Christ.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
