The Bayfield Post, 1982-05-28, Page 2Page 2 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: Revelation 20 verse 14-15 Pastor Les Shiel - Bayfield Baptist Church MICHAEL P.
