What More Do You Want?

A man told me one day how he got peace with God. For years his wife, a Christian, took him here and there to hear the gospel preached. He knew the plan of salvation well, and, being afraid to die in his sins, he became increasingly anxious to have peace with God.
"About three months ago," he said, "I stayed behind at the close of a gospel meeting and told the preacher what I wanted."
The preacher asked him: "Did the Lord Jesus die for you?"
"Yes, I believe He did," he answered.
"And was He raised for you?"
"Yes," he said again.
"What more do you want?"
At once he saw the truth. He accepted the blessing by faith, and he went away rejoicing in salvation.
The Lord Jesus Christ had died for him, and was raised for him. What more did he want? Surely nothing!
And what more do you want? And what more can you have? Surely nothing!
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).)
