To Be A Christian
""For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that o one can boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9
Two farmers had a talk about Christianity. One of them said to his friend, "I hear that you're a Christian."
"That's right," the other replied.
"Well, what does it mean to be a Christian?" the curious farmer asked.
"Well, I don't drink, smoke, or run around with women."
"In that case," the friend responded, "my mule must be a Christian too, because my mule doesn't drink, smoke, or run around with women!"
Prayer: Pray for others around you to grasp the true nature of salvation.
"The thief had nails through both hands, so that he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so that he could not run errands for the Lord; he could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation, and yet Christ offered him the gift of God; and he took it. Christ threw him a passport, and took him into Paradise."
~D. L. Moody
