Have you ever seen a car burning?
As we traveled along a highway, we saw a car up ahead totally enveloped in flames! Our hearts sank. We wondered, Was anyone in the car?
As we got closer, two young men were running away from the flames. Then we saw several suitcases on the ground near the car.
“Oh, what a relief ! Everyone is safe!” We knew they would save other people before saving their suitcases.
These young men were saved from the burning car. But were they saved for eternity - saved from the burning fire of God’s judgment for their sins?
“God our Saviour, who will have all men to be saved. . . . There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:35). Just tell Him that you are a sinner and want Him to forgive your sins, and you will be safe from that terrible fire of judgment. “What must I do to be saved? . . . Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30-3130And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:30‑31)).
