Listen from:
A LITTLE fellow named Dean found an old family Bible hidden away in his home. That was away back in 1905. His parents never read the Bible, nor did they know the wonderful Saviour of whom it tells.
Looking curiously through the old Bible, Dean found a piece of brown paper with these words written on it, “Prepare to meet thy God.” Amos 4:1212Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. (Amos 4:12).
Young Dean was quite surprised to find this verse, and it seemed like a message from God to him. Then a few years later he read Romans 10:99That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9): “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Dean did believe on the Lord Jesus and was saved. He was a bright testimony for the Lord until he died not long ago at the age of 73. However, we are sorry to tell you that his five brothers and sisters are still unconverted.
How about you, dear young reader? Have you come to Jesus and asked Him to wash your sins away? If not, be like Dean: “Prepare to meet Thy God.”
