Personal Pronouns

Christianity is a religion of personal pronouns. How true this is!
It is not―All are sinners, but―I am a sinner.
It is not―Jesus is a Savior, but―Jesus is my Savior.
A young man in the West Indies once said to me, "I believe all that you say, and I like your meetings; but still I am not saved! How is it?”
I replied: "Have you ever got alone in the presence of God and said: 'O God, if there were not another sinner on earth, I am one, and as a sinner I claim Christ as my Savior, even though every other sinner refuse Him'?”
"Well," he said, "it is that very personal way you have of putting it that I do not like.”
Ah; that was the secret. He had missed the blessing, because he refused to make it a personal matter. How like the 11th verse of John 1: "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." Dear unsaved one, will you not accept this blessed Savior now and be numbered among the children of God?
"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." John 1:1212But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12).
