At the close of our Friday Evening Children’s Meeting, a little boy came up to me and said,
“I want to be sure about it, sir.”
“What do you want to be sure about, my boy?” I asked.
“About my salvation, sir,” he replied.
We sat down side by side, and spoke together a long time about Christ, and His precious blood. We read,
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).
“Be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethren, that through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.” Acts 13:38,38Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Acts 13:38) and several other portions of Scripture that make all who believe, sure about their salvation, and at the close of our conversation, the dear little fellow said,
“I am sure about it now.”
Reader, are you sure about your salvation? Are you certain that, if you were called into eternity now, you would go to heaven to be with Jesus? Do not put the question from you. Ask yourself, “Am I sure about my salvation?”
