To Whom Do You Belong?

From: Messages of God's Love: 1964

Is court room a man and a woman both claimed that a certain dog was theirs. The judge found out quickly to whom the dog bonged.

The judge placed the man on one side of the room and the woman on the other. Then the dog was let loose between them. The man called “Teddy!” while the woman called “Prince!” Immediately the dog ran to the man and leaped on him affectionately. The judge’s decision was easy to make.

There are two who call to you, dear young reader — Jesus the Saviour, and Satan the devil. Whose voice do you obey? To whom do you belong?

“To whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are.” Romans 6:16¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:16).

The Lord Jesus says, “I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” John 10:14, 27, 28¹⁴I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. (John 10:14)
²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: ²⁸And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:27‑28).

Memory Verse: “BY FAITH ABEL OFFERED UNTO GOD A MORE EXCELLENT SACRIFICE THAN CAIN, BY WHICH HE OBTAINED WITNESS THAT HE WAS RIGHTEOUS.” Hebrews 11:4⁴By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. (Hebrews 11:4).
