Who Are You Counting On?
Sandy was a patient in a suburban Chicago hospital with a very serious lung disease. When the nurse went into her room to administer medication, she saw that she had a Bible on her table. The nurse asked if she had read it. She stated that she had not. When asked if she knew where she would spend eternity, she said she wasn’t sure but that many people were praying for her recovery. When asked if she knew she could have eternal life and her sins forgiven by accepting Christ as Savior, she said, “Nobody ever told me that before.” Three days later, Sandy was in the intensive care unit; the last thing she said was, “I’m counting on you guys.” She shortly after had a heart attack and died.
Who are you counting on? You know that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). But is He your Savior? Or are you counting on the prayers of others or your own good works? The one and only means of eternal blessing is through Christ as your personal Savior. Instead of risking eternity in hell and counting on the prayers and efforts of others, why not come to Christ now? “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
