MR. WATSON lives in Australia and not long ago he gave copies of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to some boys he knew. Soon after he was visiting the home of one of the boys, whose mother said there had been such a change in Jack she didn’t know what had happened to him! “Once I couldn’t control him,” she said, “but now he reads the book you gave him every night and always does what I tell him.”
What do you think had happened to Jack?
Well, you see, God’s Word is living and powerful and in reading it Jack’s life had been changed. He knew he was a sinner and had accepted Jesus as His Saviour. Now he has a new nature that loves to please God and not self. That is what God’s Word will do for all who believe it. They are “born again” and made children of God, having the same nature as God. This is the way to be truly happy and free.
