To the editor
An open letter to Karl Schuessler
Your newspaper articles are always
interesting and worthwhile. But your recent
article Are .You Saved? is outstanding; I
intend to keep it for future reference. Sitting
.here this evening I have just read your
amusing suggestions again and thought that I
should express my appreciation to you.
I suppose my appreciation of your witty way
of dealing with the subject stems from my
having had the same edgy feeling, when
confronted with the same question. I haven't
tried you "conversation stoppers" yet. Maybe
sometime for a joke on someone I know, I'll try
them out. But "the bright remark and fighting
invective" is just not my usual way--nor is it
yours--in a serious matter.
Thanks for the Bishop of Durham's answer.
I have tried similar ideas, but have not
expressed myself as clearly.
I've had trouble with answers like the
Bishop's though. I have wondered about the
woman who had the issue of blood for
thirty-eight,years until she t ouched the hem
of JesuS" 'garment and was cured. Had I
1
known her and been chatting to her
I afterwards I might have asked her (though of
course this would not be an appropriate first
question from a stranger) if she was really
cured. I can't imagine her answering me (like
the Bishop of Durham), "I trust so." She had
Christ's word, "Thy faith hath made thee
whole." She was sure that she was cured.
Christ was a walking "promissary . note";
anyone seeing his or her condition as hopeless
could have touched Christ's garment for an
instant cure. Nor is it out of place, I'm sure, to -
compare our need of salvation to the need of
the sick. Jesus used his power to heal as
evidence that he had the power to forgive sins
(Mark 2:9). In fact his miracles seem to have
all been signs that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, and the provider of eternal life to all
who personally trust him, (John 20:30-31).
Finding answers to such thoughts is not my
biggest problem, however. What should I do
when confronted with seemingly numberless
scriptures which seem to say that a person can
know he is saved, or has been forgiven; or has
eternal life? You have, no doubt, been faced'
with John 5r24, Ephesians 2:8, 2 Timothy 1:9,
1 John 5:13 etc., as well. There is no doubt in
my mind that I need to be saved--and since
God wants to save me and wants to give me
the joy of knowing he has saved me, why
should I resent others inquiring after my
welfare? --
I don't resent this, now. The fighting spirit
is gone. I've yielded. Have I done wrong to
humbly admit to God that I'm a lost sinner,
and then to accept his offered. pardon?
Your article is sincerely appreciated in
many respects, but above all for, reminding me
how I once reacted to the question,"Are you
Saved?" This helps me to be more
understanding and courteous when I meet
others and then with a sincere desire to help, I
enquire about their fatih.
Sincerely Yours,
Graham N. Russell,
