A young Scotsman, not long out from the old country, attended some meetings in an area near the Rocky Mountains. Far away from home, friends and relations, a stranger in a strange land, he was a lonely young man.
God had been dealing with him, and he was ready to hear God's message. He knew he was not saved. He needed no one to tell him that he was lost. Conscious of the fact that he was a sinner, unprepared to meet a sin-hating God, he was not only willing, but anxious to be saved.
(1) “A friend of young men observed the young stranger, and at the close of the service shook hands with him. He spoke to him about his soul, asking him three questions: "Are you saved?" With tears in his eyes, he confessed he was not.
(2) "Are you willing to be saved?" "Yes," was the quick response.
(3) "Are you willing to be saved now?" "Yes, I am."
How good when a soul sees himself guilty and lost. He is then willing to accept salvation on God's terms. That night this lad accepted Christ as his Savior, and left the hall rejoicing in the assurance of sins forgiven.
