At Sunday school a little girl, Anne, was listening eagerly to the words of the speaker, as he pressed upon the young hearers the need of accepting the Lord Jesus as their own Saviour. The child was deeply anxious, and when spoken to, she burst into tears.
“And are you trusting the Lord Jesus, Anne?” we asked her.
“Oh, yes,” she replied.
“Why, how long has that been?”
“Only just now, when you were telling us to trust Jesus, just where we were sitting, and I did.”
As they were about to say goodnight, the speaker put the following little test before her: “Now, Anne, when you came to the service this evening, you did not belong to the Lord Jesus, but you are going out of this place a believer in Him and belonging now to Him. But tomorrow, if Satan brings a doubt into your mind as to whether you are really saved, what will you tell him?”
A smile instantly lit up her happy and thoughtful face, and she replied in a simple, yet confident manner, “Oh, I shall tell him that Jesus has got me now!”
How good it is to have the assurance of God’s Word on which to rest our souls. It says, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” John 10:27, 2827My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:27‑28).
