Salvation: If I Should Die Tonight
It is related that a young man and his wife were attending a
revival meeting. The Spirit was striving, but they were inclined to
reject Him. As they were leaving the church the minister asked them to
take a piece of paper just before they retired that night and write
these words on it and pin it on the headboard of the bed, "If I should
die tonight, my soul would spend eternity in hell." They agreed to do
it. As they were in the act of retiring, the young wife brought the
pencil and paper and gave them to her husband. He began to write, but
wrote only two words, "If I." Then his hand became unsteady, and he
said, "Wife, I can't write it. I can't go to sleep with an inscription
like that on our bed. Wife, get the Bible, and let's see if we can
find some help." This she did, and they opened the Bible in the chair,
one kneeling on one side and one on the other.
They read and searched and found scriptures that condemned them,
and then promises of salvation to all who would repent and believe.
After long searching and praying, they trusted Christ and were
gloriously saved. But why? It was because we must meet God personally.
Salvation is a personal matter. "If I." Not the other person, but
myself.
