An old sailor once got up in a meeting, and said: "I've been forty-two years learning three things.”
I pricked up my ears at that. I thought that if I could find out in about three minutes what a man had taken forty-two years to learn, I would like to do so.
The first thing that he said he had learned was that he could do nothing toward his own salvation.
The second thing that he found out was that God did not require him to do any-thing.
And the third thing was that the Lord Jesus Christ had done ALL. HE had finished the work and offered a full redemption to all who would have it.
Have you, dear reader, learned these three things? Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:66Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6).
