One evening in our church in Chicago one of the officers in going around the gallery after I was through preaching, and as the audience was going out of the church, stepped up to a gentleman and said, “Are you saved?” “Yes, sir,” he replied. He was very positive about it. “How long have you been saved?” “About five minutes,” he answered. “When were you saved?” asked the gentleman. The man replied, “About five minutes ago while that man was preaching.” He did not wait until I got through the sermon. He did not wait for someone to deal with him. He came to Jesus right there and then and Jesus saved him right there. It only takes an instant to be saved. The moment you receive Jesus you are saved. “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)). Will you receive Him now?
