." How many men give that as a reason, but it is no man's
reason. And I never knew one man to be saved by it. Believe me, the
shortcomings and the sins of my brother are mighty poor things to
depend on for my own personal salvation.

Again, you will not be saved by seeking an easy way. You will never
win by catering to your own pride and cowardice. I was conducting a
revival in a Texas city some years ago. At the close of one of the
services a young lady came forward to shake hands with the preacher.
As she did so she said, "I am going to become a Christian." I
congratulated her upon her decision, but she answered, "Oh, I do not
mean right now. I mean I am going to be very soon."

"You see," she continued, "it is like this: I am going in a few days to
visit some of my relatives that live way back in the country. There is

answer that I give is not the answer of a mere speculator or dreamer.
It is the answer of inspiration and it is an answer whose truth has
been tested by the personal experience of countless millions. "What
must I do to be saved?" Answer: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved."

What is it to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? It is to believe that
Jesus Christ can do what He claims to do and what He has promised t
