Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and then shalt be saved.—Acts 16:31.

DO I accept with thankful and intelligent belief, the record given in the gospel, concerning Jesus Christ as the only and all-sufficient Redeemer? Have I come to him, and given myself to him as my Saviour, to be forgiven, taught, ruled and saved by him, in the way that he has appointed? Do I trust my all to him for time and eternity, rejoicing in him as my hope, my guide, my strength, my full and complete salvation? Do I so live, as to have clear evidence of my faith?

The way of salvation is plain. There are only three steps: first, out of self; second, into Christ; third, into heaven.

Faith is nothing else but the soul's venture. It ventures to Christ, in opposition to legal terrors; it ventures on Christ, in opposition to all guiltiness; it ventures for Christ, in opposition to all difficulties and discouragements.—W. BRIDGE.

Till God in human flesh I see, My thoughts no comfort find; The holy, just, and sacred Three Are terror to my mind. But if Immanuel's face appear, My hope, my joy begins; His name forbids my slavish fear, His grace removes my sins. —WATTS.
