Believing God

In a certain town there was a foreman of a factory who became exercised about his soul’s salvation, but he could not seem to get peace. His employer who was a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, soon heard about it.
One morning he sent a note to his foreman requesting him to come to his office at 6 P.M. Promptly at 6 P.M. the foreman arrived.
“I see,” said the boss, “that you believed the words of the note I sent you. You came just as I requested.” He then began to speak to the foreman about the “letter” which God had written, His own precious Word, and he gave him these two verses,
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt. 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28). And also, “Him that cometh to Me I will in. no wise cast out.” John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).
The foreman saw the glorious simplity of salvation, that it is just taking God at His Word. His eyes filled with tears of joy as he said,
“I see it! I see it all! I believed the note you wrote to me, and I came to you. Now I believe the words of the Bible, and come to Jesus, the Saviour.”
How wonderfully simple it is. Faith just believes what God says, because God has said it. He says I am a lost sinner and that He cannot take me to heaven in my sins. But His love has found a way, through the redemptive work of His Son on the cross of Calvary, by which He can righteously put away all my sins, and make me white and clean in His holy presence. I believe this, and God says I am saved.
