"Doctor, please!" It was the pleading call of a fallen soldier as he lay bleeding to death on the battlefield. The passing doctor with the Red Cross on his arm heard the faint call. He stopped, dismounted, attended to the man, gave all possible relief, and then ordered him to be conveyed to the field hospital at once.
As he was being placed in the ambulance, the wounded man asked: "What's your name, doctor?"
"O, no matter", replied the doctor.
"But, doctor, I want to tell my wife and children who saved my life."
That was becoming gratitude you say. And do you not think the Lord Jesus deserves as much from you? Does He not say to you as He did to another: "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee"?
Tell it to others, dear young believer. It will strengthen you. It will be a safeguard to you. It is more likely you will stand firm if you openly confess the name of Christ.
"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).
