How clear and assuring are the answers of God through the Scriptures to the heart questionings of an anxious soul!

How can I get right with God?

"By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8, 9⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8‑9).

But how can God righteously save me, a sinful creature, without anything on my part to deserve it?

"Through this Man [Christ Jesus] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sir: and by Him all that believe are justified from all things." Acts 13:38, 39³⁸Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: ³⁹And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:38‑39).

"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." 1 Tim. 1:15¹⁵This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15).

"The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7⁷But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7).

But how can I know that this is for ME?

"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).

Then HOW can I make this salvation my own?

"Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Rev. 22:17.

Take, appropriate for yourself, dear anxious soul, the full, free forgiveness which, in virtue of the great redemption price paid on Calvary's Cross—the atoning death of Christ on the sinner's behalf—God offers to all.
