God has been pleased to bless the posting of texts of Scripture on walls and trees. This testimony comes from Ireland.
“I read the words only wanst, sir, but me mind firmly tuk them in, and they have niver lift me memory from that day.
“How I rolled them over and over in me thoughts! At times indeed, I thried to banish them from me; but go they wouldn’t, and do what I cud, they would give me their company: " ‘The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.’
" ‘If this be true,’ I thought, ‘then there is no judgment after death for a believer.’
“It was ‘sin’ the text talked about—‘all sin’ —and the ‘cleansing’ of ‘all sin.’ And ‘the blood of Jesus Christ God’s Son,’ was the cleansing power.
" ‘That, without any manner o’ doubt, was shurely an all-sufficient power,’ I sed to meself, ‘for it is the blood of a Divine sacrifice.’
“Then again came the thought like an all-powerful voice— ‘If this be true, then there’s no judgment after death for a believer.’ For whin all sin is cleansed from the soul,’ I said, ‘what can remain for judgment fire to act upon?’ Why nuthin.”
Was not this sound reasoning, dear reader? We believe it was. If all sin is cleansed by the blood of Christ, for all true believers there can be no other judgment for them. And if no sin can be cleansed without the blood, then let us trust in its cleansing power.
“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).
