“He believes the doctrines of grace and defends the message you preach.” I have heard this comment made occasionally regarding individuals who do not manifest a strong interest in the word of God nor a spirit of joy and fellowship with other believers. And my answer is that it will not save me to know that Christ is the Saviour; but it will save me to trust him with all my heart to be my Saviour. I shall not be delivered from condemnation by believing that God is sovereign, election is true, and Christ's atonement is particular and limited to the sheep. But I shall be saved when God breaks my heart over my sin, brings me to receive, love, and adore my Redeemer whose blood and righteousness is my life, hope, trust, and my all. It is not the life-buoy on board the ship that saves a drowning man, nor is it his belief that the life-buoy is an excellent invention! No! He must be in the life-buoy or he perishes!
