While visiting a lady, I asked her, "Are you saved?"
She covered her face with her hands, and shuddered as she exclaimed with deep emotion, "I would give worlds to know that."
It was such a joy to explain to her that she could do nothing towards her salvation because Christ had done everything, and that on the cross He had triumphantly exclaimed, "It is finished."
She discovered that His place in glory was the proof of God's satisfaction in His work, and that all she needed to do was to trust that Savior, and God would save her on the spot. I opened my Bible and read some very plain scriptures to her.
"To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins." Acts 10:43.
"Be it known unto you therefore... that through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by Him all that believe are justified from all things." Acts 13:38, 39.
"He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 5:24.
I shall never forget her face as the light broke in upon her and she saw that all she had to do was to trust the Savior. She jumped at the offer, and earnestly accepted the Lord Jesus as her Savior.
Will you not trust this same Savior? He is so trustworthy, and He will do all that He has said He will.
"Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28. Miss Havergal truly wrote:
"They that trust Him wholly
Find Him wholly true."
Can we doubt the word of Christ? He said, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37.
Everyone who has put Him to the test has found Him true to His Word. Yes, we can trust Him. Will you not do so now?
Remember, time is flying fast. Life from here on is uncertain. Sudden death seems the order of the day. Reports of street accidents, short illnesses, violent men, all constantly warn us that we should be ready at any time.
Whether we die at twenty or eighty matters little. It is not when we die, but how we die that matters. If you died today how would you die? You would die in Christ, or in your sins. You are either a sinner saved by grace, or a sinner in your sins.
Was it for nothing that Christ died? Was it not that sin's dreadful penalty should be paid, and God enabled righteously to offer forgiveness and salvation to "whosoever will?"
Will you not face facts here and settle the question of your eternal destiny by trusting the loving Savior now?
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31.
"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Cor. 6:2.
