A Personal Saviour

It is not enough that we believe Christ to be the Saviour of man, of our brother, or of a friend. We must accept him as a personal and individual Redeemer. We are considered of the Lord, in his redemptive scheme, not collectively, as a nation or as a church, but as distinct and separate individuals, each responsible alone for his individual acts. “If any man eat of this bread;” “if any man will do his will;” “if any man thirst;” “by me if any man enter in;” “if any man hear my words, and believe;” “if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,” — all these expressions, together with many others all through the Sacred Word, make the work of redemption a very personal as well as practical matter.
