Anyone who had seen George J— diligently reading his Bible every day might easily have taken him for a sincere Christian. Yet in reality he was an entire stranger to "joy and peace in believing" (Rom. 15:13).
What, then, was the secret of all this diligence in Bible reading? We will try to explain. An ex-officer of the English army (H.T.) had come to the town where G.J. resided, and was announced to preach the gospel in the public hall. To this meeting our friend G.J. was prevailed upon to go. In the course of the address one word, more than any other, fastened itself upon his mind. It was the word, "NOW."
With solemn earnestness the preacher sought to press the importance of this word upon his hearers in connection with the gracious opportunity that was there and then held out to them: "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2).
"By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8, 9).
