Roman Catholic Soldier's Conversion

A letter from a soldier who has received definite blessing is full of encouragement: “I am so glad to speak about the Saviour,” one soldier said who received a New Testament in July. “I have been saved when I read these words, ‘By whose stripes ye were healed’ (1 Peter 2:2424Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)). Healed by the stripes of Christ on the cross, the shedding of blood! As a Roman Catholic I was hoping to be saved by my works. What a deceitful way! I have to thank God that I did meet you. I shall never be without my New Testament.”
