A Personal Matter

From: Moody's Stories: Volume 2 By: Dwight Lyman Moody

James 2:19¹⁹Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19); John 20:26-28²⁶And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. ²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. ²⁸And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. (John 20:26‑28)

“The life of Christianity,” says Luther, “consists of personal pronouns. It is one thing to say, ‘Christ is a Savior.’ It is quite another to say, ‘He is my Savior.’ The devil can say the first. Only the true Christian can say the second.”
