When I was quite a boy, I went to hear a Christian nobleman preach the gospel. At the close of the meeting, he asked whether I was saved. “I think so,” I replied. “You ought to be certain about it,” he replied, and a friend of his pointed out a verse of Scripture and asked me if I were a believer. “Certainly,” I replied, and in one moment I saw that, as a true believer, I really was saved, and I ran home full of joy, praising God for salvation, and for the certainty that I should never perish.
There is nothing so simple as faith. When we believe what God says, everything belongs to us. There is no need to doubt one word.
