A Sure Salvation
May 20, 2013

A story is told that Queen Victoria of the UK was deeply moved during a church service. Afterward, she asked her chaplain, “Can one be absolutely sure in this life of eternal safety?” He did not have an answer. But an evangelist named John Townsend heard about the Queen’s question, and after much prayer he sent her a note: “With trembling hands, but heartfelt love, and because I know that we can be absolutely sure now of our eternal life in the Home that Jesus went to prepare, may I ask your Most Gracious Majesty to read the following passages of Scripture: John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10?”

Two weeks later, the evangelist received this letter: “. . . I have carefully and prayerfully read the portions of Scripture referred to. I believe in the finished work of Christ for me, and trust by God’s grace to meet you in that Home of which He said, ‘I go to prepare a place for you.’ —Victoria Guelph”

Townsend was confident that in this life we can have assurance of eternal safety (v.9), and he had a concern for others as well. Consider what John 3:16 and Romans 10:9-10 mean for your eternal destiny. God desires to give you the confidence that your sin is forgiven and that after death you’ll be with Him forever.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. —Crosby

Lives rooted in God’s unchanging grace can never be uprooted.

Read: Romans 10:8-15

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. —Romans 10:9

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 10-12; John 6:45-71

Thanks, galz, for another wonderful story of bravery from one of our military heroes! (((hugs))) to you both!

[mountainlion]

That is quite a writeup. There is not much information on the Civil War it seems. I tried to look up some current military people but it seems after 9-11 that much has been removed I suppose to protect people.

Courage is not limited by time or location. We have much better medical care and quick treatment but the soldiers of older wars did not hold back for fear of the danger.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...any garden time this weekend?

Sunny today and the snow is gone from our yard, streets dry. d:o)

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS))))

The recital was AMAZING!

[left that other site]

I used to live near a large tract of land in Readville, MA which was the site of FT Meigs, where the Mass 54th Colored Regimenbt trained.

I have played the organ at the Blue Hill Community Church, which was founded to minister to the soldiers there.

If you watch “Glory” carefully, you will see the words “Readville Ma” when it fades to the scene where Denzel Washington and others are training.

It is now swampy watershed land for the Blue Hills, and is a Bird Sanctuary, but we used to ride our bicycles through there and call it “The Bug Sanctuary” LOL

Some of the bugs were as big as birds.

It is hard to even begin to imagine what kind of formative experiences gave such indomitability, toughness, and perseverity to our forebears. Today, whiners abound who would not have lived to maturity then.

Thanks so much for this reminder of American grit.

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes. *HUGS*

Hope you had some "me" time this weekend.

Snow is gone from the houses on my side of the street now.

Everything, including the street was white Saturday morning.
