Hello, Freddie, where are you going this morning?”
r“I’m on my way to that Sunday School down the street, sir, and I don’t want to be late.”
“That’s fine, my boy. I’m glad you go to Sunday School, and I’m glad you get there on time. Now I want to ask you one more question. Do you know the Saviour as your own?”
“Yes, sir, because I have several certificates for Bible memory work, and I haven’t missed a Sunday for two years.”
Was Freddie right? Surely it is a good thing to be at Sunday School regularly, and to win rewards for memory work, but I am afraid Freddie thought that all this made him a Christian.
You may have the finest attendance record in your Sunday School, and you may know more Bible verses than all the other boys and girls, and yet be unsaved. But if you have come to the Lord Jesus Christ as a needy and sinful boy or girl, and have taken Him into your heart as your own Saviour, then you are saved, and can say like Paul, “The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:2020I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20).
