A Personal Question

ARE you converted?” I asked a girl friend, as we chatted outside a lovely garden. We were scholars at the same Sunday school, the occasion being our Sunday school treat. Tired of romping with the little ones, we went aside to talk, and as Violet seemed to be leading our conversation into rather a worldly channel, I asked her the question stated above, believing her to be a Christian.
“O! no,” said Violet, “I have no need to be converted, my father is a local preacher.”
“But, Violet,” said I, “are you sure that you know what conversion means?”

“Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 18:33And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3). “Now, boys and girls,” said he, “except you belonged to this Sunday school, you would not have been admitted into the hall tonight, and this is just what our text means, Except you belong to the Lord Jesus, you cannot enter heaven, because He is the only way to God.

‘I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man (or no one) cometh unto the Father, but by Me.’” John 14:66Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6).
Let me ask you the question, Are you converted? Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour? If not, why not? Is it because, like Violet, you are trusting to the fact that you have Christian parents, or that you attend Sunday school regularly? This cannot save you, but Jesus can. He says,
