FROM THE Pastor's Desk
"ABSOLUTELY SURE:"
To have the assurance of Eternal Salvation -
is the right and the privilege of every true
Christian. Yet many of God's children live
in a state of perpetual uncertainty: The
Bible teaches that there is no need for this
to be so if we have repented of our sins and
personally and definitely received Jesus
Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Hear the
plain declaration of scripture as we find it
in the book of Romans, chapter 10, verses
9 through 13.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy Mouth -
the Lord Jesus (or Jesus as Lord) - and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
Queen Victoria of England once heard a sermon
that greatly impressed her. Later she asked
her Chaplain. "Is it possible to be ABSOLUTELY
SURE in this life of Eternal Safety?" This
incident was later published in the Court
News and came to the attention of a minister
of the Gospel named John Townsend. After
much thought and prayer, he sent the following
letter to the Queen of England:
"To her gracious majesty, our beloved Queen
Victoria, from one of her most humble sub-
jects. With trembling hands, but love filled
heart, and because I know that we can be
absolutely sure even now of Eternal Life in
f -the home that Jesus went to prepare, I would
ask you Most Gracious Majesty, to read the
following passages of scripture. John 3:16,
and Romans 10:9-13. These passages prove
that there is full assurance of Salvation by
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ for those who
believe and accept his Finished Work upon the
cross of Calvary on their behalf."
Several days later Townsend received this
note: "Your letter of recent date received,
and in reply would state that I have carefully
read the portions of scripture referred to.
I believe in the finished work of Christ for
me and trust by God's grace to meet you in
that home of which He said: "I go to prepare
a place for you" - (Signed) Victoria Guelph."
Friend - You too - can be ABSOLUTELY SURE:"
The Hymn writer has set forth this truth so
beautifully in the following words:
Blessed Assurance - Jesus is mine,
0 what a fortaste of glory divine,
Heir of Salvation - purchased of God,
Born of His Spirit - washed of His blood.
Now how about you today? Do you have this
Blessed Assurance? Remember the scripture de-
clares in Romans 1-:13 - For whosoever shall
saith "Whosoever Believeth on Him - shall not
be ashamed!"
THOT: All who experience the second Birth
shall never suffer the second death:
