DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

G.D. Watson emphasizes the importance of being alone with God in finding
personal salvation, highlighting the need for a personal encounter with
Jesus where He speaks directly to our hearts. Human words are inadequate
in such a crucial moment of detachment from others and connection with
God. Only through the Holy Spirit re-speaking God's promises into our
consciousness can we truly grasp the assurance of salvation and holiness
that God offers. Each soul must seek God alone for a genuine assurance
of His perfect salvation, beyond the influence of others or mere words
on paper.

We have to be alone with God in finding personal salvation. Others may
be used as instruments in bringing conviction, light, help in various
ways; but there comes a crisis, both in the work of regeneration and of
sanctification, in which the soul must be detached from others, and deal
only with God. How utterly impertinent are human words in such a crisis!

We must meet our Jesus singly; we must apprehend Him for ourselves; He
must speak to us with His own voice. In such an hour we gaze on the
salvation promises, such as, "Thy sins will be forgiven thee," or, "I
will, be thou clean"; but the words on paper need to be imparted into
our consciousness, and to do this, they must be re-spoken into us by the
Holy Ghost. No true soul will be satisfied with an inference of
salvation, or a dead legal imputation of holiness, or the opinions of
others as to our state; nothing less than God alone pouring His
assurance into our spirits will answer.

The dear Redeemer Who loved us from eternity, and "formed us for
Himself," will not leave the pining soul to the second-hand tinkering of
others; He will closet us with Himself, and re-speak into us those
living words out of His Book that have been spoken to seeking souls in
every generation of the world. God longs to give each of us a perfect
personal assurance of His perfect salvation. But we must be alone with
God
