“I was rescued from a watery grave when I was fourteen years old; I was rescued from an eternal hell a year later.” These were the opening words of the testimony of a young fellow at a gospel meeting. Then he went on to tell how that he and his sister went out in a rowboat. He lost his oar, they were almost swamped by the waves; but they were saved by the lighthouse keeper when he saw their danger.
“And I was saved by the Lord Jesus, just in the same way. He came to seek and to save sinners, and I was one. So I just let Him take me out of my sins, and set me by His side.”
That was a short but bright testimony to the saving power of Christ, wasn’t it? And it shows how you may be saved too, dear young friend, right now and where you are.
