It was found in Johnny’s Bible. A simple card with a few words upon it. But it spoke volumes. Johnny had signed it, making the words his very own. What were they?
God loves me, and God gives to me, Christ Jesus, who came into this world, lived, died, rose, ascended, and prays for me. I believe God loves me, and I now gratefully accept God’s gift.
Signed, John.
Now, therefore, I shall never perish; and not only that but have everlasting life already. Go says so, and I rest upon His John 3:16, 1:12, 6:37.
It was after a gospel meeting that Johnny had signed the card. In that meeting he had heard and believed the good news that God loved him, and there he had received the Lord Jesus Christ to be his own personal Saviour.
How well it was Johnny had come to Christ that night. One day he was playing with some of his friends in one of the streets where he lived, when he was knocked down and run over by a truck. He was carried to the hospital and died there almost immediately. His mother was sad indeed when she knew what had happened, but, when visited by a Christian worker, she joyfully opened Johnny’s Bible and showed the card he had signed, and told how his whole life had been changed since that night, and how his whole course showed that he was a true young Christian. Are you?
