Come to Jesus not just because He will save you, but because He’s worthy

Come to Jesus not just because He will save you, but because He’s worthy.

I had a girl I was dealing with a while back about a year and a half ago and she couldn’t get any assurance. And I finally told her something that the old preachers used to tell people.

She says, “I just got to know if He’s saved me.”

We’d go through promises in Scripture and everything. Finally I looked at her and said, “You need to repent and believe in Him and serve Him even if He sends you to Hell.”
She says, “What?”
I said, “because He’s worthy!”

He’s Worthy! I’ve never met a person who adopted that attitude that didn’t after a while gain tremendous assurance of their salvation.

And she said, “Then I shall, I will repent because He’s Worthy. I will believe because He’s worthy and even if He sends me to Hell with the rest I’ll raise my hands and say the judge of all the Earth has done right.”

But of course if one does repent and believe God will save. The invitation is wide and gracious. All those who come to Him. Now she’s a vibrant growing young Christian, praise the Lord..
