This is What I Want!

A CERTAIN man on the Malabar coast, having inquired of various heathen priests how to make atonement for his sins, was directed to drive iron spikes sufficiently blunt, through his sandals, place his naked feet thereon, and so walk four hundred and eighty miles. And if through loss of blood, or weakness of body, he should be obliged to halt, it was permitted him to wait for healing and strength.
The benighted man undertook the journey; but while he rested under a shady tree where the gospel was sometimes proclaimed, one of the missionaries in that country came and preached from the words, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7).
In the midst of the discourse, the man suddenly rose up, pulled off his torturing sandals, and cried out, "This is what I want!" He afterwards became a lively witness that the blood of Jesus Christ does indeed cleanse from all sin.
"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"? ROM. 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).
