A Personal Matter

"Christianity," said Martin Luther, "is a religion of personal pronouns." How true this is! It is not, we are all sinners, but—I AM A SINNER.

It is not, Jesus as a Saviour, but—JESUS IS MY SAVIOUR.

If you have not made it a personal matter like this my reader, you are not saved. A young man in the West Indies once said to me, "I believe all you say and I like your missions services, but I am not saved. How is it?" I replied, "Have you ever gotten into the presence of God and said, 'O God, if there were no another sinner on earth, I am one, and, as a sinner I claim Christ as my Saviour even though every sinner refuses him'?"

"Well," he said, "it is your personal way of putting it that I do not like."

Ah! this is the secret. He had missed the blessing, because he refused to make it a personal matter.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).
