SAVED

 

“ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”Roman 1:16
An unsaved lawyer lay dying. He was known to be a man of unimpeachable integrity. He lay there facing eternity, troubled and distressed. Upright as he had been before men, he was a sinner before God. His awakened conscience brought to his memory sins and transgressions that had never seemed so heinous as now, when he knew that shortly he must meet his Maker.
A friend put the direct question, “Are you saved?”  “No,” he replied, shaking his head sadly. The other asked, ”Would you not like to be saved?”  “I would indeed,” was his reply, “But I do not want God to do anything wrong in saving me!”
His remark showed how deeply he had learned to value the importance of righteousness. The visitor turned to his Bible and there read how God had Himself devised a righteous way to save unrighteous sinners. In fact, God has no other possible way of saving anybody. If sin must be glossed over in order that a sinner may be saved, he will be forever lost. God refuses to compromise His own character for the sake of anyone, much as He yearns to have all men be saved.
