Today's reading: Numbers 26:44-65

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Romans 4:3

I met an elderly man as I was walking alone in the woods. He gladly accepted the tract I offered him with its Christian message. He said he was religious and involved in church work. He thought it right to do something for God and one's faith. There was a ring of pride and righteousness from good works in his words.
"But for our eternal salvation, we can do nothing," I objected. "It was all done by Christ's atoning work on the cross. We have to rely on that by faith. Without Him, no-one will be saved or get to heaven. Our own works don't suffice for that." The man's face became increasingly unfriendly.
"Even a man like Alber Schweitzer, the jungle doctor of Lambarene, would be lost without Jesus Christ" I added. - "Anyone who has done as much good as he doesn't need redemption. He has earned his place in heaven," was the passionate reply, and the man went off annoyed.
Six months later, I was standing in the town centre during the Christmas rush. A senior citizen approached me with a friendly greeting: "Do you recognise me? We met in the summer in the woods." He seemed a different man.
In my hand, I had a tract entitled "Born that man no more may die". I showed him the title and, to test his reaction, asked, "Do you believe that the death of Jesus Christ and faith in Him is the only way to heaven?" - "Yes," he answered convincingly, "I do believe that now." We were able to say goodbye joyfully.
