| Believing |
| “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness” (Romans 10:10). |
| “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). |
| Many people who believe all about Christ have never believed on or in Christ. The difference is important. An old Christian put the matter very forcibly. He said, “There are many professing Christians, but if you cut off their heads there would be nothing left!” This was his way of saying that there was nothing in the heart, no real conversion, no real believing with the heart to the salvation of the soul. |
| Suppose we are walking by the seashore on a summer day. We see the lifeboat lying on the sands. We admire its strength, its adaptability for saving life. In short, we believe all about it. But we are in no need of the lifeboat at the moment, we are in no danger of drowning. But, suppose we are on the deck of a sinking ship and our only hope of rescue lies in the lifeboat. With what different feelings we watch the approach of the lifeboat! With what relief we drop into it and are saved! We believe not only about it, but on and in it. Everyone is in need of Christ. Have you come as a needy sinner to Christ, and received Him as your personal Savior? |
