Once there was a woman who was determined to have nothing to do with "religion." She threw her Bible into the fire, together with all the tracts she could find in the house.
One of the tracts fell out of the flames; she picked it up and threw it in again. A second time it slipped down and once more she put it back. Again her intention was frustrated.
The next time, however, she was more successful, though even then only half of the tract was burned. Taking up the portion that came out of the fire, she exclaimed: "Surely the devil is in that tract, for it will not burn!"
Her curiosity aroused, she began to read it, and it was the means of her conversion to God. It led her to the Lord Jesus Christ, so truly the tract—and the woman, too—were saved, yet "so as by fire."
Perhaps the story of your conversion has yet to be told. Possibly you think you are not as bad as the woman who threw the Bible into the fire. But if you are rejecting Christ, what is the difference? If until now you have resisted the pleadings of the Savior and neglected His great salvation, your case could hardly be more desperate.
Are you saved? The God of love has made the most abundant provision for your salvation. He has given His Son. Jesus has died, "died for the ungodly." You may now have peace with God "through faith in His blood."
Do you believe on the Son of God? "All that believe are justified from all things."
"There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." But the Lord Jesus has made peace by the blood of His cross and, being justified by faith, we have peace with God.
Is this peace yours?
