From a penitentiary in Greece came these moving testimonies of the power of the Word of God and the love of Christ to touch the hearts of some of the young men there. The chaplain was given quotations from written statements some of these youths had made on their experiences through reading the Bible.
“Now I know how a man can be really happy, and what paths he should follow in his daily life,” writes one of them.
“I was much affected to see that the prodigal son, after repentance, was accepted by his father,” writes another. “Now I understand the love which my heavenly Father has accepted a sinner like me.”
“I used to curse and swear,” confessed a third, “but now I have the New Testament always as my companion and consolation.”
Yet another testimony may be given: “I have been sent to prison three times, but I did not then know the real Saviour. How I rejoice now!”
“WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL RECEIVE REMISSION OF SINS.” Acts 11:43.
