1 Thessalonians 4: 1-8
“Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.”
“I shall always remember (evangelist D. L.) Moody,” wrote one man, “for he was the means of leading me to Christ. I was in a railway train one day when (he) came in and sat in the seat beside me. We were passing through beautiful country, to which he called my attention, saying, ‘Did you ever think what a Heavenly Father we have to give us such a pleasant world?’ I made some indifferent answer; upon which he earnestly inquired, ‘Are you a Christian?’ I answered, ‘No.’ ‘Then,’ said he, ‘you ought to become one at once…. If you kneel down right here, I will pray to the Lord to make you a Christian.’”
Before the train reached the next station, this man had trusted Christ as His Savior.
We can all receive this Gospel. Jesus can set us free and wash us with His blood. If you haven’t received His offer of salvation, you should. If you aren’t a Christian, you ought to be!
A point to ponder…
We ought to remember that Christ has the power to help everyone who asks for His divine aid.
