Faith Plus NOTHING!

Daily Reading—Psa. 42-47 / Rom. 5
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
At an Evangelistic service, during the invitation, the evangelist clearly presented the Gospel. From the pulpit, he led people in a prayer that, if said from the heart to God, was accepting Christ as Saviour by faith. When finished, he asked those who had prayed that prayer to come forward. Some did, some did not.
I was invited later to visit a man who was there. In our conversation, he said he wanted to be saved. He believed Christ died for him and His blood paid the price for his sin. He said, “I prayed with the evangelist, but I’m nervous in crowds and didn’t walk forward.” He feared that since he did not go forward, he was not saved. Oh, what joy to share that salvation is not by deeds, works, or a walk, but by faith. I later baptized this man.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Aren’t you glad we do not earn salvation?
