Not far from a busy city there lived a bright and happy Christian boy, whose conversion was brought about by means of a simple text of Scripture posted by the sea-shore. He had been troubled about his soul for many months, knowing he was not saved, ill at ease, and very unhappy about his state before God. Walking alone by the shore one day, he saw a bit of paper nailed to a post, and going up to it, found it was a text, in bold letters,
Here was the sinner’s question; the question of one in soul trouble, like himself. And here, too, was God’s answer, plain and clear. It did not bid him to work, or pray, or wait. It pointed him to another, “the Lord Jesus Christ,” and told him to “believe,” or rely on Him. That word from God was the means of his conversation.
This is all you need; God’s Word is to you, as it was for him. Are you willing to be saved by Him, and NOW?
